*Too Close to the Sun: The Life and Times of Denys Finch Hatton* by Sara Wheeler is a biography of Denys Finch Hatton, an English aristocrat, pilot, and big-game hunter who is perhaps best known as the lover of Karen Blixen (author of *Out of Africa*, writing under the name Isak Dinesen). The book delves into Finch Hatton's life, exploring his adventures in Africa, his relationships, and his complex personality.
Sara Wheeler paints a vivid portrait of Finch Hatton as a charming and enigmatic figure who was both admired and criticized by his contemporaries. The biography also touches on the broader context of British colonial life in East Africa during the early 20th century, offering insights into the world that Finch Hatton inhabited. Wheeler's account is well-researched, drawing from letters, diaries, and other historical sources, and it provides a nuanced view of a man who has often been romanticized in popular culture.
If you're interested in the intersection of biography, history, and literary connections, Wheeler's *Too Close to the Sun* is an engaging read that brings to life a fascinating figure from the past.
