What was Ernest Hemingway doing in 1925? Where was he? What were his important relationships? What were his challenges? What was he writing?
1925 is the year that put Hemingway on the map. To guide us through this crucial year, we welcome back J. Gerald Kennedy, author of Imagining Paris, editor of the Norton Critical Edition of In Our Time, and co-editor of what will become the final volume of The Letters of Ernest Hemingway. In this episode, we discuss the publication of In Our Time and the events that would inspire The Sun Also Rises; Hemingway's competitive streak and network of famous friends and rivals; the painting he bought and the influence of modern art on his writing; and much more.
We hope you enjoy one of our favorite traditions, spending our first show of the new year by going back one hundred years to explore Hemingway’s life, work, and world. Happy New Year!
