SKETCHBOOK: HELL DRIVERS OF THE RIVIERA

BRUCE McCALL

Hemingway blustered onto the scene one June afternoon in that summer he spent down near Nice on maneuvers with the French Marines. Ernest was so very afraid of not being seen as brave, so of course he got corked on absinthe and commandeered Noel Coward's beautiful custom-bodied Delahaye and careened into the middle of a Hell Drivers show. It had been all about fun and entertainment, and now, suddenly, it was all about Ernest. Sad, sad man.
