ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Hotel Florida is built on the personal records of its principal subjects—Arturo Barea, Robert Capa, Martha Gellhorn, Ernest Hemingway, Ilsa Kulcsar, and Gerda Taro—and without the help of the keepers of those records, this book could never have been written. My deepest thanks go to Uli Rushby-Smith for welcoming me into her home and giving me permission to examine and use the Arturo and Ilsa Barea papers; to Cynthia Young, the curator of the Robert Capa archives at the International Center of Photography, for opening that collection (and the papers and photographic records of Gerda Taro) to me and enduring my endless questions about it; to Alexander Matthews, the executor of the estate of Martha Gellhorn, and Sean Noel of the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center at Boston University for granting me access to the papers of Martha Gellhorn; and to Kirk Curnutt of the Hemingway Foundation and Society, Michael Katakis, Simon & Schuster, Inc. (especially Yessenia Santos), and Susan Wrynn of the Ernest Hemingway Collection at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum for allowing me to use material from the papers of Ernest Hemingway. I’d also like to thank the Columbia University Rare Book and Manuscript Library for making available the papers of Herbert L. Matthews, which provided a navigational third point for charting the comings and goings of some of my subjects.
For making the task of consulting all these resources easier, I’m grateful to Eugene Ludlow of the Barea archive, Claartje van Dijk at ICP, Ryan Hendrickson at Boston University, and Stephen Plotkin, now a reference archivist at the John F. Kennedy Library. Archival research is dark and lonely work, and they all helped to keep the darkness at bay.
