BOBBY KENNEDY

The Making of a Liberal Icon By Larry Tye

Illustrated. 580 pp. Random House. $32.

He was murdered six months shy of his 43rd birthday.

He had served as attorney general for fewer than four years and as senator from the state of New York for three and a half. His campaign for the presidency lasted only two and a half months.

Robert Francis Kennedy’s written résumé is rather thin, but that is only to be expected of one who died so young. He deserves our attention not because of what he did, but because of who he was, what he represented and what we hope he might have accomplished had he lived.

First published in Paris in 1923, “Out of Season” was a ruthless sign of things to come: its near-literal translation of a real-life event that Hemingway had experienced and minutely observed would provide the template for his first novel The Sun Also Rises (originally published in the UK with the different title Fiesta), completed three years later. In Everybody Behaves Badly, American writer Lesley Blume’s impeccably researched and resonant account of the true story behind The Sun Also Rises, Hemingway emerges as a masterful opportunist with a determination to succeed bordering on sociopathic.
