Hemingway, his life through his wife's

By Jacques de miscault

Hemingway is one of the most famous journalist of the 20th century. He was more than a reporter. An adventurer and writer, his work inspired people all around the world and his life was full of events. Some of them are known because he published lots of stories. Others, more private events, were discovered after his death.

4 weddings and one funeral

To resume the life of this legend in the journalism world, the French TV station Arte choose the loving side of the men. The documentary named “4 weddings and one funeral” relates the love adventures that Hemingway had, 4 weddings indeed, and exposes his personality. The use of archive footage adds a real historical side to the documentary and the powerful text of Virginie Linhart makes it very truthful and full of emotions. By the prism of multiple weddings, she drew the picture of an obsessive man who gave far too much importance to appearance and could not stop moving. A shadow side to a life of brilliance.

An insatiable adventurer

Adventure is the beginning of everything for the men of Illinois, and every adventure must start with an encounter. “The world is a prison, and we will open it in every way.” Said his first wife, the pianist Elizabeth Hadley. After they met and got married, they went to Paris in 1921 where Hemingway will meet his first success with “A farewell to arms” several years later. But the comfort she gave him was not enough. Therefore in 1928, Hemingway moved to Florida with another women, Pauline Pfeiffer, a French journalist. This period will be the most prolific of his life. Publishing more and more papers and making a name for himself among journalists. After that, he went to Spain during the war, guided by his never-ending need to travel. Where he will meet Martha Gellhorn. A brilliant writer and war correspondent. During their relation he will let us “For whom the bell tolls”, a novel narrating the life of a young American volunteer attached to an republican guerilla during the Spanish war. The union with Gellhorn will fall apart when Hemingway will meet his last wife, Mary Welsh, in 1944. She will stay with him until his suicide in 1961. Standing by his side during his Nobel Price announce in 1954. A ceremony that he won’t even attend.

Linhart shows us a men who could not stay put, always needed change. Searching by any means inspiration.

Besides its tart portraits of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway’s posthumous memoir of his early days in Paris, “A Moveable Feast,” provides a heart-wrenching depiction of marital betrayal.

The final chapter, “There Is Never Any End to Paris,” is a wistful paean to Hadley Richardson, Hemingway’s first wife, whom the writer left for her best friend. The friend, Pauline Pfeiffer, the wealthy woman who became Hemingway’s second wife, is portrayed as something of a wily predator, and it is Hemingway’s “bad luck” that he falls for her.

It turns out that the story behind the editing of the book is nearly as juicy as the tales within it, and has become something of a multigenerational custody battle over how to cast the larger-than-life author’s stormy romantic history.

Mary Hemingway, the writer’s fourth and final wife, was the one who edited the first edition of “A Moveable Feast,” published by Scribner in 1964, cobbling it together from shards of the unfinished manuscript he left behind. She created a final chapter that dealt with the dissolution of Hemingway’s first marriage and the beginning of his relationship with Pauline, building some of it from parts of the book he had indicated he did not want included

If I ever date/marry a rich guy that cheats on me I aspire to be at the level of Pauline Marie Pfeiffer, Ernest Hemingway's second wife. Pauline Marie Pfeiffer was a journalist that wrote for Vogue (jealous!), so we know she was a stylish and sophisticated lady. When she found out that her husband was having an affair she ripped out his precious boxing ring and spent a bunch of his money on is big pool (costing over $20,000 in construction at the time) where she threw extravagant pool parties at (because she writes for Vogue why wouldn't she?) When he got back to his home in the Keys, he supposedly flung a penny on the ground, saying “Pauline, you’ve spent all but my last penny, so you might as well have that!” I like to imagine she was smirking when that happened. Fucking legend.

The Legendary Behind The Shadow In the 1990′s

          The first son of Clarence Edmonds Hemingway, a doctor, and Grace Hall Hemingway, Ernest Miller Hemingway was born in a suburb of Chicago in year 1898, July 21st. He was educated in the public schools and began to write in high school, where he was active and outstanding, but the parts of his boyhood that mattered most were summers spent with his family on Walloon Lake in upper Michigan. On graduation from high school in 1917, impatient for a less-sheltered environment, he did not enter college but went to Kansas City, where he was employed as a reporter for the Star. He was repeatedly rejected for military service because of a defective eye, but he managed to enter World War I as an ambulance driver for the American Red Cross. On July 8, 1918, not yet 19 years old, he was injured on the Austro-Italian front at Fossalta di Piave. Decorated for heroism and hospitalized in Milan, he fell in love with a Red Cross nurse, Agnes von Kurowsky, who declined to marry him. His wartime experiences formed the basis for his novel “A Farewell to Arms (1929)”.

          After recuperating at home, Hemingway renewed his efforts at writing, for a while worked at odd jobs in Chicago, and sailed for France as a foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star. In 1921, Hemingway married Hadley Richardson, the first of four wives. They moved to Paris where he worked as a foreign correspondent and fell under the influence of the modernist writers and artists of the 1920s' "Lost Generation" expatriate community.

         In 1925 his first important book, a collection of stories called “In Our Time”, was published in New York City; it was originally released in Paris in 1924. His debut novel “The Sun Also Rises” was published in 1926, a novel with which he scored his first solid success. A pessimistic but sparkling book, it deals with a group of aimless expatriates in France and Spain—members of the postwar Lost Generation, a phrase that Hemingway scorned while making it famous. This work also introduced him to the limelight, which he both craved and resented for the rest of his life. He divorced Richardson in 1927 and married Pauline Pfeiffer; they divorced after he returned from the Spanish Civil War, where he had been a journalist. He based “For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940)” on his experience there. Martha Gellhorn became his third wife in 1940; they separated after he met Mary Welsh in London during World War II. He was present with the troops as a journalist at the Normandy landings and the liberation of Paris.

         Hemingway maintained permanent residences in Key West, Florida (in the 1930s), and Cuba (in the 1940s and 1950s). He almost died in 1954 after plane crashes on successive days; injuries left him in pain and ill health for much of the rest of his life. In 1959, he bought a house in Ketchum, Idaho, where, in early on the morning of July 2, 1961, Hemingway committed suicide in his Ketchum home.

         Hemingway left behind an impressive body of work and an iconic style that still influences writers today. His personality and constant pursuit of adventure loomed almost as large as his creative talent. His economical and understated style, which he termed the, had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his adventurous lifestyle and his public image brought him admiration from later generations.

RELIGION HAS BEEN KNOWN TO DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD

Religion has been known to do more harm than good. From the Crucifixion of Christ to the Spanish Inquisition to the Crusades to the Salem Witch Hunt to religious conservative groups in modern day politics.

The Catholic Church a present day example.

Saving souls does not mean suppressing the vote in Georgia.

Major Catholic funders and power brokers are among those spearheading voter suppression efforts. Conservative Catholic philanthropists and pro-life leaders are key players behind efforts to limit voter access in a number of states.

Their efforts could obstruct the right to vote for economically marginal populations and racial minorities for years to come.

A number of Catholic organizations and donors pumped millions into the 2020 Presidential election and Georgia’s January Senate run offs.

The Catholic organizations and donors remind me of the inquisitors who sat in judgment of Joan of Arc. Hard headed and blind doing what they believe is God’s work.

In the wake of the 2020 Presidential election and Georgia’s January run offs for 2 Senate seats, a number of Catholic lead organizations and donors pumped millions of dollars into voter suppression efforts. Under the banner of “election integrity.”

Not all Catholic organizations and political donors are guilty. There are many who view voter suppression initiatives as a betrayal of Catholic values and a perpetuation of the false claims by Trump that the election was stolen.

The list of the anti-Christ types include organizations and persons whose names are not well known. The Susan B. Anthony List is one. A pro-life advocacy organization that together with other related entities committed to spending $52 million spearheading Trump’s pro-life activities in the 2020 election.

Individual donors sit on major public boards and those religiously based. Providing opportunities where from their own pockets or those of a board millions can legitimately be funneled into the coffers of those working to suppress voter participation laws.

Ernest Hemingway in the news big time in recent days. The PBS Ernest Hemingway 3 day 6 hour series Conversations with Hemingway one.

Notation by many that on this day in 1928, Hemingway and his wife Pauline arrived in Key West for the first time on the Peninsular & Occidental steamship from Havana. A 1 or 2 day visit turned into 10 years.

Eudie Pak wrote The Many Wives of Ernest Hemingway which was published in Biography 3/20/19. Pak did an update which was published in Biography 4/6/21. An interesting article.

As is well known, Hemingway in a career spanning almost 40 years enjoyed the company of 4 wives. Whether married or not, he was rarely without a woman by his side.

Hemingway’s 4 wives were Hadley Richardson, Pauline “Fife” Pfeiffer, Martha Gellhorn, and Mary Welsh.

Certain of the wives formed a bond. Wife #4 Mary Welsh described the “wife group” as “Hemingway University.”

Trump has finally spoken re Matt Gaetz. His comment was limited to he never discussed a pre-emptive pardon with Gaetz.

Trump believes he is the Almighty. Right or wrong, can do anything he wants.

He is doing it again. The repetitive credit card charges. Trump believes they are proper. He intends to begin using the same method once more to raise funds.

Not the best of mornings. I fell. Been a while since I have fallen. Stubbed my toe going up the stairs. I was almost to the top. I was carrying in one hand a large plastic glass containing a chocolate protein drink.

The drink is all over the carpet and on the wall. Ten feet high on the wall.

The wall doesn’t look bad. A Picasso.

Of course, I got hurt. My right knee bleeding. My head and neck ache. My forehead hit the wall and must have bent my head and neck back.

Tell you why this happened. A friend recently sent me a book on how to avoid falling. I began reading it. The subject matter not exciting in itself. I should have finished. I will now.

Too late to have helped me this morning, of course.

Enjoy your day!

Jmenuji se Sam 2001 online ke shlédnutí zdarma en HD: Sam Dawson (Sean Penn - za tuto roli byl nominován na Oscara) je starostlivý otec, který miluje svoji dceru Lucy (Dakota Fanning) a cítí se být tím nejšťastnějším chlapem pod sluncem. Problém je v tom, že jeho mentální vývoj se kdysi zastavil zhruba na úrovni sedmiletého dítěte. Až dosud se Samovi dařilo s pomocí přátel překonávat všechna úskalí otcovství. Teď ale do hry vstupuje agilní sociální pracovník a tak Samovi hrozí, že mu Lucy bude odebrána, protože ho začíná mentálně převyšovat. Samova případu se ujímá Rita Harrisonová (Michelle Pfeiffer), zkušená právnička, které se však kvůli pracovnímu vytížení značně odcizil její syn. Společně se snaží přesvědčit systém, že si Sam zaslouží být otcem se vším všudy a zároveň se oba dozvídají co vlastně pravá rodičovská láska obnáší. Jmenuji se Sam dabing: Pracuje v kavárně, kde rovná v krabičce cukry a utírá stoly. I když se to může jevit jako podřadná práce, tak on je v ní spokojený. Se všemi dobře vychází a zákazníci jsou na něj milí. Jednou u sebe ubytuje bezdomovkyni a ta mu porodí dceru Lucy, ihned poté ale od Sama uteče. Sam Lucy vychovává, stará se o ni a spolu se svými, také mentálně zaostalými, přáteli se jí snaží udělat šťastnou. Vše jde zpočátku dobře, ale Sam je zvyklý na své stereotypy a občas výchovu nezvládá. V takových chvílích mu pomáhá žena, která bydlí v protějším bytě-Annie, která ale již několik let nevyšla ze svého bytu. Když je Lucy sedm let, začíná být chytřejší než její otec. Všimnou si toho ve škole, mají pocit, že Lucy schválně zaostává jen aby nepřekonala svého otce. Upozorní na tuto skutečnost sociální pracovníky a začíná soudní kolotoč. Na oslavě Luciiných narozenin je odvedena sociální pracovnicí a jsou se Samem od sebe odloučeni. Soud rozhodne, že Lucy půjde do náhradní péče a Sam se proti tomuto rozhodnutí snaží bojovat.

Najme si právničku Ritu (Michelle Pfeiffer), která je velice arogantní, namyšlená a upjatá, ale aby se předvedla v práci, obhajuje ho pro bono (tedy zdarma). Časem se se Samem spřátelí a začíná se měnit. Radí Samovi jak vypovídat u soudu, také ale potřebují nějaké svědky. Těmi se stávají právě Samovi mentálně zaostalí přátelé a po dlouhém přemlouvání i Annie. Sam ale tlak soudu nevydrží a Lucy je definitivně přiřazena k náhradní rodině.

Sam se s tím ale nehodlá smířit. Najde si lepší práci a přestěhuje se blíž k Lucy. Když to jeho dcerka zjistí, začne každou noc utíkat za ním. Manželé, u kterých žije a kteří by ji chtěli adoptovat, s tím nesouhlasí a snaží se jí v tom bránit. Postupně ale zjistí, že je to zbytečné a že Lucy a Sam jsou neoddělitelní. Proto se rozhodnou, že bude lepší když Lucy bude u Sama a Sam naopak požádá onu ženu, aby mu s výchovou pomohla, protože Lucy potřebuje matku. A tak nakonec všechno končí happy endem.

“And we call this wall Ernest Hemingway’s life and wives,” the guide said, gesturing to a wall of photos.

It was on our tour of the Ernest Hemingway House in Key West last December that I learned in great detail about the author’s philandering ways and his four wives. His first wife, Hadley Richardson, had introduced him to the woman he would leave her for, Pauline Pfieffer, who was one of her friends! The guide joked that his final wife, Mary Walsh, lasted because she didn’t introduce him to any of her friends!

The wall of Hemingway’s life and wives. The five photos closest to the black candelabras are Hemingway in the center and his wives. Clockwise: Hadley Richards (top left, 1st wife), Pauline Pfeiffer (2nd wife), Mary Welch (4th wife), and Martha Gellhorn (3rd wife). I can’t remember what the top or bottom photos on the far right are, but the middle one is of Hemingway’s sons holding Snow White, the first 6-toed cat at the house.

I have read several of Hemingway’s books, but confess I didn’t really know too much about the man’s life. The house we were visiting in Key West was purchased by Pauline Pfeiffer (wife #2)’s uncle. The time spent in Key West was the most prolific period for Hemingway; he completed about 70% of his work in the house.

Long before COVID-19, Hemingway was setting the trend for working from home. He had a cat walk built from his bedroom to his writing studio, which was located on the top floor a carriage house behind the main house. He spent most mornings writing and then if he had written enough would spend the afternoons fishing, sailing with friends, and drinking at the bars.

Most of Hemingway’s works were based on his experiences as a Red Cross worker and a foreign correspondent, as well as his travels. For example, his time spent fishing and sailing in Key West inspired The Old Man and the Sea while his 10-week safari inspired “The Snows of Kilimanjaro.”

Inside Hemingway’s writing studio.

The outside of Hemingway’s writing studio

The house boasts the largest swimming pool in Key West, which cost $20,000 back in the 1930s! The area was once Hemingway’s boxing arena, but upon discovering that Hemingway was having an affair with fellow war correspondent Martha Gellhorn, Pfeiffer (wife #2) commissioned the pool as pay back. Hemingway was certainly surprised when he returned home from Europe.

The pool at the Ernest Hemingway home in Key West

The house has 59 polydactyl (six-toed) cats that freely roam the property. The first six-toed cat was named Snow White and was given to Hemingway by a sailor. In those days sailors kept polydactyl cats on ships because they were believed to bring good luck. All the cats have names, are fed by the staff, and have regular vet visits. After living a long and happy life lounging in the sun they are buried in the cat cemetery on the property. On our tour we met Daisy Buchanan who naps on Hemingway’s bed every day at the same time.

Daisy Buchanan lives a life of luxury.

Thinking About Hemingway’s Life

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of Hemingway’s house because I love history, but I grew a bit disenchanted upon learning more about Hemingway’s personal life. I found his morals to be somewhat lacking. It made me question if being unbalanced is what it takes to be great. Do you have to be so focused at excelling in one are of life that you neglect all other aspects of life? Did Hemingway’s character and questionable morals contribute to him being a great writer? I don’t know.

Sadly, Hemingway had bipolar disorder and while living in Idaho sought treatment from the Mayo Clinic. Back then they called it manic depression and the treatment was electroshock therapy which, instead of helping him, fried his brain and erased his memories. Unable to write, Hemingway became depressed and ultimately took his own life in 1961. What a sad ending to a talented, complicated, and colorful life. The human mind is astonishingly complex and I can’t help but wonder if his life would have ended differently if he had been born a few decades later. Perhaps yes, perhaps no. In terms of mental health we’ve come so far, but still have so much progress to make.

If you’re ever visiting the Keys, I highly recommend you stop by the Hemingway House to learn more about the author, history, and perhaps a bit more about yourself.

Arrivals & Departures - 21 July 1899 Celebrate Ernest Miller Hemingway Day!

Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American journalist, novelist, short-story writer, and sportsman. His economical and understated style—which he termed the iceberg theory—had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his adventurous lifestyle and his public image brought him admiration from later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920′s and the mid-1950′s, and he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. He published seven novels, six short-story collections, and two non-fiction works. Three of his novels, four short-story collections, and three non-fiction works were published posthumously. Many of his works are considered classics of American literature.

Hemingway was raised in Oak Park, Illinois. After high school, he was a reporter for a few months for The Kansas City Star before leaving for the Italian Front to enlist as an ambulance driver in World War I. In 1918, he was seriously wounded and returned home. His wartime experiences formed the basis for his novel A Farewell to Arms (1929).

In 1921, he married Hadley Richardson, the first of four wives. They moved to Paris where he worked as a foreign correspondent and fell under the influence of the modernist writers and artists of the 1920′s "Lost Generation" expatriate community. His debut novel The Sun Also Rises was published in 1926. He divorced his wife in 1927 and married Pauline Pfeiffer; they divorced after he returned from the Spanish Civil War, where he had been a journalist. He based For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940) on his experience there. Martha Gellhorn became his third wife in 1940; they separated after he met Mary Welsh in London during World War II. He was present with the troops as a journalist at the Normandy landings and the liberation of Paris.

Hemingway went on safari to Africa shortly after the publication of The Old Man and the Sea (1952), where he was almost killed in two successive plane crashes that left him in pain and ill-health for much of the rest of his life. In 1959, he bought a house in Ketchum, Idaho where he ended his own life in mid-1961.

FEBRUARY 8: Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979)

Elizabeth Bishop was a major 20th century American poet and short-story writer. She only wrote 101 poems, but won prestigious awards: the Pulitzer Prize in 1956 for Poems: North and South – A Cold Spring, a National Book Award, and the Neustadt International Prize for Literature.

Elizabeth Bishop, 1943. Josef Breitenbach/Breitenbach Foundation, courtesy Center For Creative Photography         

She was born on February 8, 1911 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Her father died when she was young, and her mother was institutionalised, which led her to live the difficult, often unhappy childhood of an orphan, moving from one family to the other. She also developed health issues, which she carried with her all her life.

 When she became a student at Vassar College (1929-34), she was as much attracted to music as she was to literature. She even considered the career of a composer, but gave it up because the idea of performing terrified her. She then turned towards literature studies – in her senior year, some of her poems were published and she co-founded a rebel literary journal named Con Spirito with fellow students – namely, writer and activist Mary McCarthy, Margaret Miller, writer Eleanor Clark and the latter’s sister Eunice.

Speaking of great friendships: at that time she made the acquaintance of poet Marianne Moore, 24 years her senior, who greatly influenced her. At first Moore mentored Bishop, helping her publish some of her poems. But progressively they became friends and remained so (till death did them part).

Another friend of hers was American poet Robert Lowell. They kept a “constant and affectionate” epistolary friendship, each influencing and paying tribute to the other in their poetry – though Bishop did not share Lowell’s confessional style. Hers is similar to visual art, capturing scenes, describing the world but it also has underlying themes dealing with the experiences of grief, of losing, longing, and the struggle to find a sense of belonging.

I am in need of music that would flow Over my fretful, feeling fingertips, Over my bitter-tainted, trembling lips, With melody, deep, clear, and liquid-slow. Oh, for the healing swaying, old and low, Of some song sung to rest the tired dead, A song to fall like water on my head, And over quivering limbs, dream flushed to glow! There is a magic made by melody: A spell of rest, and quiet breath, and cool Heart, that sinks through fading colors deep To the subaqueous stillness of the sea, And floats forever in a moon-green pool, Held in the arms of rhythm and of sleep.

“I Am in Need of Music,” Elizabeth Bishop

Despite her fragile health, Bishop loved travelling. She lived in France for a while with Vassar classmate and first love Louise Crane, with whom she travelled extensively in Europe, and then both moved to live (also together) in Florida, where Bishop met Pauline Pfeiffer (Hemingway’s ex-wife).

Her most remembered journey was to South America. The story is that she expected to stay two weeks, and ended up staying 14 years – out of love. Indeed when she arrived in Santos, Brazil, she met modernist designer and architect Lota de Macedo Soares, with whom she had a romance and shared a home in Petrópolis – though their passionate relationship became tempestuous and came to an end, marred by alcoholism and depression. She also came to love Brazil, and be influenced by Latin American poetry.

Their relationship was depicted by writers Carmen Lucia de Oliveira in Flores Raras e Banalíssimas and Michael Sledge in The More I Owe You.

The 2013 film Reaching for the Moon, which I do recommend, is based on Oliveira’s novel. Here we see Glória Pires as Lota de Macedo Soares and Miranda Otto as Elizabeth Bishop.

When Soares killed herself in 1967 she spent less time in Brazil, and instead shared her time between New York, San Francisco, and Massachusetts. She started giving lectures at Harvard in 1970 and fell in love with Alice Methfessel, 33 years her junior. They shared a sense of humour, loved travelling - had “the same way of looking at things.” However Bishop’s health really deteriorated, with bouts of asthma, dysentery, insomnia, and her alcoholism worsened. They briefly parted on friendly terms, but got back together and remained so till Bishop’s death in 1979. (great -and detailed - article about them here!)

It is interesting to note that, if Bishop considered herself a feminist in later years, she was never comfortable with labels such as “lesbian poet” or “ female poet”. She refused to have her poems published in all-female poetry anthologies, and never got involved with the women’s movement. She was extremely private about her life. For example, most of what we know about her romance with Soares comes from her private correspondence with Samuel Ashley Brown. Nonetheless, Bishop is now considered one of the most important American poets of the 20th century, and her life/love affairs still inspire today’s artists.

“Sarei uno sciocco se mi accontentassi della felicità domestica”. La maledizione di Hemingway, il padre-imperatore

La letteratura riguarda, sempre, un padre – e un figlio che gli si oppone. Non è necessario che il padre sia ‘biologico’: si scrive per invitare a duello un maestro, perché sia esatto all’ampiezza della propria intelligenza. Per garanzia di destino, Crono evira Urano, e memore della violenza divora i figli finché Zeus, grazie all’abilità propria e all’astuzia della madre, riesce a vincerlo. Distratto da sé, Edipo uccide il padre, per strada; nella Lettera al padre Kafka istituzionalizza il terrore provocato dal genitore, come si sa, nel 1927, Sigmund Freud scrive il saggio Dostoevskij e il parricidio, a partire dal concetto che “Il parricidio è, secondo una nota concezione, il delitto principale e primordiale sia dell’umanità che dell’individuo. In ogni caso è la fonte principale del senso di colpa, seppure forse non l’unica”. Tutti e tre I fratelli Karamazov, in effetti, avrebbero ragione di uccidere il padre, Fëdor Pavlović, per lo meno, hanno motivo di contrasto con lui, sono con lui in una sfida perpetua – sessuale, economica, etica. Il padre esiste come ancora e ostacolo e scandalo, pare – nel gergo evangelico la consonanza tra Gesù e il Padre è consustanziale, eppure, Gesù annienta il padre terreno, fittizio, Giuseppe, e adombra una priorità sul padre celeste, il Dio ebraico. Cristo pare prevalere su Dio, nonostante siano Uno.

*

In modo diretto – e crudele – chi crea crede alle proprie creazioni più che alle proprie creature. Per uno scrittore, i figli sono ‘modelli’, materia letteraria. O problemi. L’articolo pubblicato su “The Conversation” da Verna Kale, associate editor dell’Hemingway Letters Project, è, in questo senso, interessante. “Chiamato affettuosamente Papa, che tipo di padre fu Hemingway? Ho passato il tempo a investigare le circa 6mila lettere inviate da Hemingway nell’arco della sua vita. L’ultimo volume – il quinto – che raduna le lettere scritte tra il gennaio del 1932 e il maggio del 1934 offre uno sguardo sulla vita intima di Hemingway. Durante questo periodo, lo scrittore esplora il senso della paternità. Diciamo che i figli furono una distrazione da ciò che più di tutto gli importava: la scrittura”.

*

Dalla prima moglie (di quattro), Elizabeth Hadley Richardson, Hemingway ebbe un figlio, John, per tutti Jack, per i genitori Bumby – e in questa spoliazione dei nomi non può non esprimersi un destino. Nacque nel 1923, Hemingway aveva 24 anni, aveva appena pubblicato qualche racconto e una manciata di poesie, a Parigi, Ezra Pound lo invitava a Rapallo, per il “Toronto Star” firmò un pezzo, Mussolini, Europe’s Prize Bluffer, More Like Bottomley Than Napoleon, ricco di ipnotiche smargiassate (“In punta di piedi mi portai alle sue spalle per vedere cosa stesse leggendo con tanto rapito interesse. Era un dizionario Francese-Inglese… capovolto”) che “costò a Hemingway la censura di Mussolini in Italia” (così Masolino d’Amico in Album Hemingway, Mondadori, 1988). Insomma, stava diventando Hemingway a cazzotti. Da Pauline Pfeiffer, sposata nel 1927, Hemingway ebbe gli altri due figli, Patrick e Gregory. Il primo, soprannominato Mouse, che da adulto si trasferì in Africa offrendosi come esperto in safari a ricchi occidentali in cerca di fiere, nacque nel 1928, lo stesso anno in cui il padre di Ernest, Clarence, si ammazza, sparandosi, “lasciando la famiglia nell’indigenza” (Fernanda Pivano, nella Cronologia di: Ernest Hemingway, Tutti i racconti, Mondadori 1990). Il secondo, Gregory – per gli amici Gigi –, avrebbe avuto quattro mogli e otto figli, amava vestirsi da donna, aveva problemi di droga, nasce nel 1931. Hemigway, a quel punto, è già l’autore di Fiesta e di Addio alle armi, sta scrivendo Morte nel pomeriggio, regala alla moglie una casa a Key West e mentre lei partorisce lui flirta con Jane Mason “bellissima moglie di un funzionario della Pan American” (Pivano). Alla suocera, Mary Pfeiffer, Hemingway scrive: “Dovresti vedere cos’è Gregory… vado in chiesa ogni domenica, sono un buon padre di famiglia, almeno, faccio ciò che posso… un uomo sarebbe uno sciocco se si accontentassi di rifugiarsi nella felicità domestica, rifiutando il proprio lavoro: sarebbe una forma bieca di abbandono”.

*

In forme diverse – scrivendo la propria autobiografia, o curando progetti editoriali legati all’opera del padre – i tre figli si occupano dell’eredità paterna, ne sono soggiogati. Nonostante la sua assenza – o proprio per quella: un padre/dio giace nell’invisibile, nell’incomprensibile. “Per Hemingway lavorare non significava semplicemente sedersi alla scrivania e scrivere. Comprendeva varie avventure: pesca, caccia, viaggi, amicizie. Sebbene abbia insegnato ai figli a pescare e a sparare, quando erano piccoli non esitava a lasciarli con le tate o con qualche familiare per molto tempo” (Verna Kale). In un racconto, Padri e figli, Nick Adams, alter ego di Hemingway, “cominciò a pensare a suo padre”. È in macchina e si accorge solo dopo del figlio, “seduto sul sedile di fianco al suo”, torturato dai ricordi. Il figlio chiede al padre del nonno: è un abile cacciatore, un uomo concreto, dalla mira eccelsa. “Quanti anni dovrò avere per avere un fucile e potermene andare a caccia per conto mio?”, chiede il figlio a Nick. E poi la domanda potente, “Perché non andiamo mai a pregare sulla tomba del nonno?”. “Noi abitiamo in un’altra parte del paese”, risponde Nick. E il figlio gli propone di comprare un ranch nei pressi della tomba del nonno, affinché possano morire insieme, padri, figli, nipoti, in una sorta di aurea continuità. L’ossessione per la morte è temperata dalla preghiera. In questo racconto è fisso ciò che è accaduto, ciò che verrà, l’intenzione e lo smarrimento.

*

Nel 1961, è il 2 luglio, Hemingway si spara in bocca, come aveva fatto il padre, anni prima, con un fucile. Al funerale partecipano i tre figli e i nipoti: accade il 5 luglio, per permettere a Patrick di rientrare dall’Africa. C’è anche Gregory, che non si parlava con il padre da dieci anni, dal 1951, dalla morte di Pauline, “da quando lo scrittore lo aveva accusato di aver fatto morire sua madre di crepacuore” (Masolino d’Amico). Dopo il Nobel per la letteratura, nel 1954, Gregory aveva scritto al padre un telegramma – per levarselo lietamente di torno, il padre gli inviò un assegno da 5mila dollari. Quel giorno, al funerale, Gregory incontrò Valerie Danby-Smith, segretaria particolare del padre dal 1959, aveva 21 anni – sei anni dopo se la sposò, sperando, forse, di diventare il padre. C’era anche il primo figlio, naturalmente, Bumby: sarebbe diventato un eccellente pescatore, un idolo nell’Idaho, dove lottava per la tutela dei fiumi e della riproduzione delle trote. Quell’anno sarebbe nata la sua seconda figlia, Mariel, attrice di pregio (nel 1979 reciterà in Manhattan, per Woody Allen); con sé aveva portato Margot. La piccola aveva sette anni, era nata nell’anno in cui ‘Papa’ aveva conquistato il Nobel, per questo la trattavano come una specie di amuleto. Fu una modella di altissimo successo, conquistando le copertine di “Time”, “Vogue”, “Elle”. La morte del nonno le fece percepire che tutto può finire, che tutto può morire. Si ammazza nel 1996, nell’appartamento di Santa Monica: il corpo, in ampio stato di decomposizione, fu scoperto il 2 luglio, il giorno in cui Hemingway decise di uccidersi. (d.b.)

Trespassing at Ernest Hemingway's House

The signs couldn’t have been clearer. PRIVATE PROPERTY. NO TRESPASSING. VIOLATORS WILL BE PROSECUTED. I had been looking for the dead-end street in Ketchum, Idaho where Ernest Hemingway took his life on July 2, 1961, and reckoned I had found it. Thanks to fierce opposition from affluent neighbors in the Canyon Run neighborhood that has sprung up around what was once a very isolated 22-acre property on the Big Wood River, the home has never been open to the public and the address isn’t advertised.

Hemingway and his (fourth) wife Mary bought the Idaho house in 1959, and it has sat empty since his death, save for spells when caretakers resided in the basement. Although I have a deep respect for Hemingway’s work, I’ve long been even more fascinated with his peripatetic life. As someone who has traveled to 70-odd countries and has moved more than a dozen times in the last twenty years, peripatetic Hemingway is something of a kindred spirit. He never sat still, never seemed satisfied, and frequently sought to cure what ailed him with a change of scenery—I’m the same way.

For years, I lived a short walk away from his birth home in Oak Park, Illinois, and when I learned that Hemingway’s Ketchum home had been preserved as a kind of time capsule, I resolved to try to see the place. I wanted to know why it was still closed when so many of the other places Hemingway once called home are open to the public. And, perhaps more important, I wanted to understand what had brought the restless author to a remote valley in the Idaho wildnerness to live out his final chapter.

Many writers have grappled with this question, but none more perceptively than Hunter S. Thompson, who wrote three years after the Hemingway’s death, “Anybody who considers themselves a writer or even a serious reader cannot help but wonder just what it was about this outback little Idaho village that struck such a responsive cord in America’s most famous writer.”

The Ketchum that the pioneer of gonzo journalism discovered in 1964 had just one paved street and was “no longer a glittering, celebrity-filled winter retreat for the rich and famous, but just another good ski resort in a tough league.” Thompson thought that Hemingway had returned to the Gem State because he had lost his way and was pining for the good old days he’d spent there during and after WWII. Hemingway, he surmised, wanted a place that hadn’t changed where he could “get away from the pressures of a world gone mad,” and live among apolitical people who loved the outdoors as he did.

Eager to understand it myself, I left my home in Bend, Oregon, along with my wife, Jen, and two sons, Leo, 10, and James, 8, on a bright Tuesday afternoon in late October (2017) to see what we could find. The eight-hour drive took us through desolate Malheur County, site of the 2016 armed Oregon Standoff, sprawling, ever-expanding Boise, now America’s fastest growing city, and forlorn cowboy hamlets like Fairfield, Idaho, home of the Wrangler Drive-in, where gluttons can feast on two-pound jackalope burgers, which come with six slices of bacon, three onion rings, six slices of pepper jack cheese, and secret sauce among other things.

“Does the fact that Hemingway took his life in this house make the prospect of touring it somehow unseemly or even ghoulish? Some might think so.”

Everyone in Ketchum knows about the author’s connection to the place, but no one knew or was willing to give me directions to his old refuge. A spry woman of late middle age years at the tourist information office in the town’s compact downtown gave me an Ernest Hemingway in Idaho brochure but politely deflected my questions about the house. “You can’t see it, but you can visit his grave, see the Hemingway Memorial, go to our history museum,” she said. I called and later emailed the director of The Ketchum Community Library, which was gifted the home last May, but she said they couldn’t show it to me due to ongoing renovations. She later said she’d tell me about their plans for the place over the phone, but I was never able to reach her despite multiple attempts. They are apparently planning to establish a writer in residence program but the details are unclear.

Thompson’s account provided few clues to the home’s whereabouts, though he did admit to stealing a pair of elk horns that once hung above the front door.

A tour guide told me I could see it from a hill behind a place called the Zenergy Health Club. But even with a pair of binoculars, all I could make out through the dense October foliage was a very distant view of what appeared to be men repairing the roof. I had found a few clues after doing some detective work online, so I knew the house was at the end of a dead-end street, on a large, wooded parcel, north of downtown Ketchum fronting the Big Wood River.

I cycled up and down a host of dead-end streets on a balmy Indian summer afternoon, the kind of day that must have seduced Hemingway years ago. But it wasn’t until I returned to my hotel that I actually found the place, perusing Ketchum’s topography on Google Earth. I saw a house that seemed to fit the bill at the end of a street called East Canyon Run Boulevard, and when I went to investigate, with my family in tow, the “private property” and “no trespassing” signs confirmed we were in the right place.

“Maybe you should go by yourself,” Jen said. “It’s not worth getting arrested for.”

We were parked near the signs, adjacent to a large, mid-century home. It was a Friday afternoon and the street couldn’t have been quieter. More than a decade ago, the Nature Conservancy, which was gifted the property by Mary Hemingway upon her death in 1986, had tried to open up the home to public tours but the neighbors had organized to squash the plan. Surely it wasn’t out of the question that if we were seen driving past the “no trespassing” signs they might call the police? And what if the property had security cameras?

As Jen and I debated these questions, Leo said, “Dad, I don’t want to go in.” But we had come so far, how could I justify turning back?

Hemingway first visited Ketchum on September 19, 1939. He was 40 and his marriage to Pauline Pfeiffer—his second wife—was falling apart. After what biographer Mary Dearborn termed a “disastrous” holiday with Pauline and his sons in Wyoming, Hemingway drove west to rendezvous with his mistress, the war correspondent Martha Gellhorn, whom he would wed a year later in Cheyenne. The Sun Valley Resort had been open for nearly three years and was trying to generate publicity by inviting Hollywood stars and famous writers like Hemingway—who had by this time published A Farewell to Arms, Death in the Afternoon, and To Have and Have Not—to stay at the resort for free.

The resort was the brainchild of W. Averell Harriman, who was the chairman of the Union Pacific Railroad in the 1930s and was later elected governor of New York. Harriman had traveled by rail to ski resorts in Europe and wanted to develop a European-style ski resort somewhere in the West along the UP rail line. In the winter of 1935-6, Harriman hired Felix Schaffgotsch, an Austrian Count, to scout locations. Schaffgotsch toured a host of iconic spots around the West—Mt. Rainer, Mt. Hood, Jackson Hole, Yosemite, and Zion, among others—but didn’t think any of the proposed sites were quite right.

He was about to abandon his quest when he stumbled upon Ketchum. Schaffgotsch was impressed by the pitch of Bald Mountain, the site’s moderate elevation, abundance of sunshine, and absence of wind among other things. The company purchased a 3,888-acre parcel of land for about $4 per acre and constructed what would become the country’s first destination ski resort in about 7 months. In the years to come, visits from a host of celebrities—Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Lucille Ball, Errol Flynn, Gary Cooper, and others—helped transform the quiet valley into a hugely popular destination.

“Everyone in Ketchum knows about the author’s connection to the place, but no one knew or was willing to give me directions to his old refuge.”

Although Hemingway had been invited to visit the resort, he hadn’t booked ahead. Nevertheless, he and Gellhorn were given a free room, number 206 (now #338). (A sin that, if committed today, would bar him for writing for many of the country’s most august publications, including The New York Times.) In the mornings, he worked on what became For Whom the Bell Tolls while Gellhorn completed a short story collection, The Heart of Another.  Most afternoons, they explored the area on horseback with friends Ernest dubbed the “Sun Valley mob.”

Ernest hadn’t skied in more than a decade, but came for the chance to hunt duck, pheasant, partridge, antelope, and elk. Martha left for an assignment in Finland in November, and according to Dearborn, Earnest grew despondent, writing to a friend that he was “stinko deadly lonely.” Among other diversions, he shot at coyotes from a low flying plane, which Dearborn says he knew was “not good sport.”

He thought about spending the holidays with Pauline and his sons in Key West, but was told if he planned to re-join Martha after the holidays he wasn’t welcome. The pair divorced in 1940, and Martha and Ernest met to spend another season in Sun Valley on September 1, this time with his sons, Jack, whom they called “Bumby,” then 17, and Gregory, 9.  They were given a $38 per night suite for which they paid a token $1. Life Magazine, which had previously written a cover story on the place titled, “Sun Valley, Society’s Newest Winter Playground,” came to photograph him and the resulting piece generated even more publicity for the emerging ski resort.

Hemingway returned to the area four more times to spend the fall and parts of winter between 1939 and 1947. (By 1946, he was no longer getting a free room at the Sun Valley Resort, which was transformed into a Navy hospital, so he stayed at MacDonald’s Cabins, which is a now shuttered budget motel that was called the Ketchum Korral.)

Ernest and the rest of his Sun Valley Mob were regulars at the resort’s Duchin and Ram Bars. He also liked to drink at Whiskey Jacques and the Casino Bar, both of which are still open. By 1959, he had grown frustrated with his notoriety in Cuba and he decided to buy a home in Ketchum. Hemingway was a document hoarder—he reportedly even saved grocery lists—and he believed that Idaho was an ideal place to preserve his letters, manuscripts and other papers, thanks to its dry climate.

The furnished, l-shaped Ketchum home the Hemingways bought for $50,000 in 1959 was built just six years before by Henry J. “Bob” Topping,Jr., a socialite whose family had made its fortune in the tin-plate industry, at a cost of about $100,000. Topping had built the place as a temple of affection for his bride, Mona Moedl, a native of nearby Hailey, Ezra Pound’s hometown.  But they’d decided to move to Arizona for health reasons and were apparently eager enough to leave town that they accepted what seems now like a lowball offer.

With its faux redwood and stained timbers, the house looked a lot like the Sun Valley Lodge, which is just as Topping intended. A local tour guide and former state representative, Wendy Jaquet, told me, “Locals joked that Hemingway bought it since he was kicked out of the lodge’s bars and wanted a similar place to drink in.”

The Ketchum Cemetery is a modest place situated on the slope of a sagebrush-covered butte just outside Ketchum’s tidy downtown. Hemingway’s grave is a simple rectangular, granite slab engraved with nothing more than his name and dates of birth and death. He was buried in a rose-covered, dark gray casket; his remains lie next to plots for his wife, Mary, near his son, Jack, and a few of his friends, including Taylor “Bear Tracks” Williams, a guide who was one of his closest confidants.

Other visitors to the grave have found half-drunk bottles of rum, shot glasses bearing bullets, cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon, and other tokens of affection. But all I found were some coins, a small pumpkin, an assortment of pinecones, a cheap pen, and a copy of Marie Hall Ets’ book In the Forest. I wondered what the cemetery did with all the booze people left but there was no one around to ask, and no one responded to my phone calls.

Ketchum is a one-time mining town that’s long been a wintery stew of ski bums and affluent second-home owners. Late October is considered shoulder season—Bald Mountain had just a thin layer of snow near the summit—and so it felt a bit like arriving at a party an hour before the dips have been set out. Hunter S. Thompson described it as a “raw and peaceful little village” when he visited offseason in 1964. It still felt peaceful, but more polished than raw and full of fancy restaurants and overpriced boutiques, mostly staffed by people who couldn’t afford to live in town.

Businesses in Ketchum don’t advertise their Hemingway connections as overtly as his haunts in Cuba and Key West do. For example, walking into the Christiania Restaurant you’d never know he ate his last meal at the place the night before he took his life.  (And, according to friends, was in good spirits.)

But the Sun Valley Museum of History has a “Hemingway in Idaho” exhibit with a host of photos and memorabilia, including one of his well-traveled Royal typewriters, a compact little number that seemed too small for Hemingway’s brawny build. (It was found in the attic of a home purchased by a local man named Jim Harris and was later authenticated. Hemingway likely suffered from the degenerative brain disease CTE and in his later years this condition made it impossible for him to work, so perhaps he gave this typewriter to Tillie and Lloyd Arnold, the family that sold their house without clearing out their attic.)

A mile northeast of the Sun Valley resort, there’s an impressive bronze bust of a contemplative looking Papa Hemingway perched on a hill overlooking the serpentine Trail Creek and the 7th hole of a golf course. It was a bluebird day, not a cloud in the sky, with just a faint chill in the air. Beneath the bust, a portion of Hemingway’s eulogy for Gene Van Guilder, a friend who was a publicist for the Sun Valley resort, is engraved on a slate plaque. His words seem written for a day like this.

Best of all he loved the fall The leaves yellow on the cottonwoods Leaves floating on the trout streams and above the hills The high blue windless skies Now he will be part of them forever

The next day was short-sleeve shirt warm, and it seemed hard to believe that in a matter of weeks, the town, now peaceful and almost forsaken, would be bustling with skiers and snowboarders. I fought the temptation to bask in the sun, holing up in the Hemingway room at the Ketchum’s Community Library to peruse stacks of old newspaper articles and files on every aspect of the writer’s life. I asked the librarian, a young woman wearing a sun dress and stylishly retro glasses, for articles on Hemingway’s Ketchum home and she handed me two massive file folders, one mostly filled with articles on his death, the other with photocopies of his FBI files.

The newspaper stories published in the immediate aftermath of his death mostly reflected Mary Hemingway’s attempts to dismiss his suicide as an accident. A UPI story carried the headline, “Gun Takes Life of Hemingway,” which was clearly not written by a card-carrying member of the NRA. An AP story, “Friends Discount Suicide in Hemingway’s Death,” asserted that Hemingway, who had recently received electroshock therapy at the Mayo Clinic, to treat depression, had been in great spirits of late.

“Everybody definitely knows it wasn’t suicide,” said Forest MacMullen, a friend of Hemingway’s who served as a pallbearer at his funeral.

<!–nextpage–>

But of course, he did commit suicide, just like many others in his family. His father, Clarence, a physician who suffered from depression and diabetes, shot himself in 1928. Hemingway’s brother, Leicester, a diabetic who was about to lose his legs, shot himself in 1982. His sister, Ursula, died of a drug overdose in 1966. Thirty years later, his granddaughter, Margaux, a model, died of a barbiturate overdose.

Ernest used his toes to pull the triggers on the W. & C. Scott & Son shotgun that he had traveled with all over the world. According to the book, Hemingway’s Guns, the so-called pigeon gun was given to a Ketchum welder to be destroyed, but some of the mangled remnants were buried in a field. The welding shop is apparently still in business and is being run by the grandson of the original proprietor.

I found a few clues at the library that helped me find the home on Google Earth, and a 2004 article in The Los Angeles Times provided insights into his Ketchum neighborhood and its opposition to opening the home to tourists. That year, in a bid to defray the costs of maintaining the property, the Nature Conservancy introduced a plan to allow three daily tours of up to fifteen participants, who would be picked up in downtown Ketchum and brought to the home in a minivan to reduce parking and congestion concerns. The neighbors weren’t buying it.

“We came here to retire. We don’t want busloads of tourists coming through here 24/7,” Doug Lightfoot, a retired pharmacist, told the LA Times.

But even as Lightfoot insisted that opening the home would do nothing more than help people indulge their “morbid curiosity,” he conceded to the reporter that he too had once asked the Conservancy for a tour of the house.

Hemingway wrote portions of three books in his Ketchum home. This was the place were he chose to die. His homes in Key West, Cuba, and Oak Park are all open the public. Homes where Mark Twain, William Shakespeare, Ernest Faulkner, Charles Dickens, Pablo Neruda, Vladimir Nabokov, Emily Dickinson, Agatha Christie, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Edith Wharton, and may other famous authors once lived have been turned into museums and serve to inspire those who might not otherwise ever pick up their books.

“The newspaper stories published in the immediate aftermath of his death mostly reflected Mary Hemingway’s attempts to dismiss his suicide as an accident.”

Does the fact that Hemingway took his life in this house make the prospect of touring it somehow unseemly or even ghoulish? Some might think so. But apparently not Anita Thompson, wife of the late Hunter S., who shot himself in the head in the kitchen of his Owl Creek farm in Woody Creek, Colorado in 2005. She still lives in the house and has preserved Hunter’s basement “War Room,” where he worked, just as he left it.

According to press accounts, she’s been working with a family friend to open their home, where she still lives, to a limited number of fans. Her initial plan, for those who passed her vetting process, was to offer a free tour plus Hunter’s favorite breakfast: grapefruit, scrambled eggs, juice, coffee, and fresh fruit suspended in Jell-O, with gin and Grand Marnier drizzled on top, served at 2 p.m. just like he liked it.

But, a year later, after visiting the Hemingway home and touring related Hemingway sites in Ketchum, she told the Aspen Times that she was also inspired to create a writer’s retreat, an offsite museum, and a line of cannabis products in her late husband’s honor. She also returned the elk horns, which were sent to Sean Hemingway, Ernest’s grandson (Gloria’s son) for “karmic reasons.”

Hemingway’s descendants are apparently divided on the question of opening the house to tours—his granddaughter Mariel thinks it should be opened, his daughter-in-law Angela Hemingway thinks the house should be sold so someone can live in it, and his son, Patrick, thinks it should remain closed.

But when I arrived at the KEEP OUT signs near the end of East Canyon Run Boulevard on my last day in Ketchum, it seemed obvious to me. It was a sun-drenched Friday afternoon, about 4 p.m., and the neighborhood was so quiet you could have heard a cat meowing a zip code away.

I considered my family’s pleas to turn back, but I thought back to my visits to three of Pablo Neruda’s homes in Chile in 2014, and recalled that each home was located on streets with neighbors. Those places draw visitors by the busloads—if those neighbors could cope, surely the good people of this neighborhood could tolerate some limited form of tourism that would allow people to see the place where the famous writer chose to end his life.

“Let’s just drive by and take a quick look,” I said, easing past the intimidating signs.

I was immediately struck by the wooded, secluded splendor of the no-go area. There was just one home past the no trespassing signs on our left, an expansive affair that appeared to be a second home unlived in at the moment, and then the Hemingway house, further ahead on our right, perhaps a quarter of a mile away from the cluster of neighbors who had united to keep the place closed to the public.

We pulled up in front of the house, a sprawling, concrete, two-story, earth-colored faux-timber construction, and I rolled down the window to take a photo. I felt like if we didn’t set foot outside, we’d be fine. We noticed a pair of men installing a new roof and Jen said, “Let’s get out of here before they call the police.” But one of the men caught a glimpse of me and simply nodded and went back to work.

Sitting in the car, taking a final look at the house, I felt slightly cheated that we couldn’t go in and see the place, which is staged as a 1961 time capsule. If someone was living there, I’d understand the No Trespassing signs, but what’s the point of an empty house with historical value that no one can see?

And anyway, what would Hemingway want? Would he have been on the side of his neighbors, who think opening the home up would ruin their neighborhood?

He guarded his privacy zealously, and wrote in The Sun Also Rises, “Everyone behaves badly—given the chance.” But he also once said, “The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”

On our long drive home, I had plenty of time to ponder the broader question of what brought Hemingway back to Idaho late in his life, as we motored through the bleak and monotonously scrubby landscape of the Oregon Badlands, where travelers can barely find a toilet, let alone a decent meal in the four-plus hours between Boise and Bend. Thompson, I thought, was right in concluding that Hemingway was a sick, weary man with three failed marriages behind him who felt and looked older than his years. Maybe buying a house in Ketchum, was a last effort to recover the carefree, glory days of yore?

The long drive home gave me plenty of time to consider my own itinerant experiences just four years ago, when we drove west on this same road, after deciding to leave Chicago for Bend. I met my wife in the Windy City, in my twenties, and we’d loved our time living there. Then I joined the Foreign Service, and we’d ended up in Washington D.C., Macedonia, Trinidad, Washington. D.C. again, and then Hungary. I quit in 2007 after a couple years of trying to fight through some difficult times with Multiple Sclerosis.

We moved back to Chicago when Jen was seven months pregnant with our first son (Leo) because both of us associated it with good times. But it wasn’t the same—our friends were now mostly preoccupied with their kids and so were we. After a couple years, we moved back to D.C., then back to Chicago again, and finally, in 2014 to Bend. Somewhere in the Oregon Badlands, on the drive west, a sick feeling nestled in the pit of my stomach as I realized how isolated we were going to be, hours from an interstate—I feared we were making a huge mistake.

“Glück bei intelligenten Menschen ist das seltenste, das ich kenne.”

Ernest Miller Hemingway (21. Juli 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois; † 2. Juli 1961 in Ketchum, Idaho) war einer der erfolgreichsten und bekanntesten US-amerikanischen Schriftsteller des 20. Jahrhunderts. 1953 erhielt er den Pulitzer-Preis für seine Novelle “Der alte Mann und das Meer” und 1954 den Literaturnobelpreis.

Hemingway betätigte sich nicht nur als Schriftsteller, sondern war auch Reporter und Kriegsberichterstatter, zugleich Abenteurer, Hochseefischer und Großwildjäger, was sich in seinem Werk niederschlägt. Von 1921 bis 1927 war er in Paris für den Toronto Star und andere Magazine als Korrespondent tätig. In dieser Zeit lernte er auch weitere wichtige Vertreter der Moderne kennen, wie etwa Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot und F. Scott Fitzgerald. Mit letzterem verband Hemingway eine sehr enge Freundschaft.

Hemingway verlieh dem Lebensüberdruss der verlorenen Generation einen Ausdruck. Unter dem Vorbild von Mark Twain und Gertrude Stein entwickelte er einen modernen Klassizismus, dessen Markenzeichen eine besondere Kargheit des Stils ist. Hemingways Erzählverhalten ist lapidar. Er selbst begründete seinen Stil mit der sogenannten Eisberg-Theorie.

Ernest Hemingway ist Autor einer großen Reihe an Klassikern der modernen amerikanischen Literatur. Dazu zählen etwa die Romane Fiesta, In einem andern Land und „Wem die Stunde schlägt“, die Novelle „Der alte Mann und das Meer“ und Kurzgeschichten wie „Das Ende von Etwas“, „Katze im Regen“, „Ein sauberes, gut beleuchtetes Café“ oder „Schnee auf dem Kilimandscharo“. Hemingway schrieb auch Nonfiction-Bücher, darunter den Jagdbericht „Die grünen Hügel Afrikas“, einen Essay über den Stierkampf („Tod am Nachmittag“) oder „Paris – Ein Fest fürs Leben“, eine Erinnerung an seine Zeit in Paris, die 1964 postum erschien.

Leben

Die Familie Hemingway gehörte zu den Honoratioren der Stadt Oak Park. Hemingways Großvater Anson T. Hemingway, ein dekorierter Veteran des Sezessionskrieges, hatte es als Immobilienmakler in Chicago zu Wohlstand gebracht und war nach Oak Park gezogen. Hemingways Vater, Clarence Edmonds Hemingway, war Landarzt, seine Mutter, Grace Hall Hemingway, Tochter des wohlhabenden Messergroßhändlers Ernest Miller Hall aus Sheffield in England, Opernsängerin. Vorfahren mütterlicherseits waren die berühmten Musiker und Komponisten Edward Miller (Ururgroßvater) und William Edward Miller (Urgroßvater).

Dr. Clarence Hemingway hatte am Oberlin and Rush Medical College studiert und führte eine angesehene Praxis als praktischer Arzt und Geburtshelfer. 1911 wurde er zum Präsidenten der Medizinischen Gesellschaft von Oak Park gewählt.

Von 1913 bis 1917 besuchte Ernest Hemingway die Oak Park Highschool. Als Achtzehnjähriger begann er 1917 seine Laufbahn als Lokalreporter beim „Kansas City Star“ in Kansas City.

Im Ersten Weltkrieg meldete sich Hemingway im Frühjahr 1918 freiwillig als Fahrer des Roten Kreuzes und kam an die italienische Front. Am 8. Juli wurde der 18-jährige Hemingway während der zweiten Piaveschlacht in Fossalta di Piave (Venetien) durch eine Granate schwer verwundet und nach fünftägigem Aufenthalt im Feldlazarett, wo man ihm Stahlsplitter aus einem Bein herausoperierte, in ein Krankenhaus in Mailand verlegt. Hier lag er drei weitere Monate und verliebte sich unglücklich in die Krankenschwester Agnes von Kurowsky, eine Amerikanerin aus Washington, D.C. Seine Liebe und die Fronterlebnisse verarbeitete er 1929 in seinem Roman In einem andern Land. 1919 kehrte er nach Oak Park zurück und verbrachte die Zeit von Juli bis Dezember in Michigan. Anschließend ging er nach Toronto, wo er Reporter beim „Toronto Star“ wurde und ab Herbst 1920 Polizeireporter in Chicago.

Am 3. September 1921 heiratete er Hadley Richardson, die er in Chicago kennengelernt hatte, und zog mit ihr im Dezember 1921 nach Paris, wo er als Auslandskorrespondent des „Toronto Star“ zu arbeiten begann. In Paris verschrieb er sich der Schriftstellerei, wobei er die Bekanntschaft anderer dort lebender Amerikaner, unter anderem F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein und Ezra Pound, machte. Stein prägte in dieser Zeit den Begriff der „Lost Generation“. Wie er entstand, beschreibt Hemingway rückblickend in seinem Roman A Moveable Feast (Paris – Ein Fest fürs Leben). Stein und Pound lehrten ihn die Kunst des Weglassens und sahen seine Texte durch. Hemingway revanchierte sich, indem er Steins Arbeiten korrigierte und Pound das Boxen lehrte. Im Jahr 1923 wurden Stein und ihre Lebensgefährtin Alice B. Toklas Patinnen seines erstgeborenen Sohns John. Die Freundschaft mit Stein zerbrach 1926. Hemingway, Hadley und ihr Sohn verbrachten zwei Winter (1924/25 und 1925/26) in Schruns im österreichischen Montafon, dort schrieb er an seinem Roman Fiesta und an Kurzgeschichten. Am 25. Dezember 1925 kam Pauline Pfeiffer zu Besuch im Montafon, eine vermögende Moderedakteurin und Mannequin. Sie blieb mehrere Monate; eine Affäre mit Hemingway begann.

Im Jahr 1927 ließ er sich von Hadley scheiden und heiratete Pauline nach katholischem Ritus. Im gleichen Jahr gelang ihm mit Fiesta der Durchbruch, was unter anderem seinem damals modischen, schnörkellos-knappen, simplifizierten Stil zuzuschreiben war. Hemingway übernahm diesen Stil von Sherwood Anderson, Ford Madox Ford und Gertrude Stein; er ist durch kurze Aussagesätze gekennzeichnet. Er begründete seine ökonomische Schreibweise später durch einen eigenen poetologischen Ansatz, das sogenannte Eisbergmodell.

Finca La Vigía auf Kuba

Ab 1928 lebte er für einige Jahre in Key West. In seinem damaligen Wohnhaus ist jetzt ein Hemingway-Museum untergebracht. Das Gleiche gilt für seine Finca La Vigía in San Francisco de Paula südöstlich von Havanna (später eingemeindet). Dort zog Hemingway 1939 mit seiner dritten Frau, der Journalistin Martha Gellhorn, ein. Seine vierte Frau Mary Welsh schenkte das Haus nach seinem Tod dem kubanischen Staat.

1933 reiste Hemingway, der früh jagen und angeln gelernt hatte und das Leben in der Natur liebte, zu einer Großwildsafari nach Kenia und Tansania. Die Safari wurde geleitet von den Großwildjägern Baron Bror von Blixen-Finecke, dem Ehemann von Karen Blixen, und Philip Percival. Es gilt als gesichert, dass Blixen-Finecke und Philip Percival gemeinsam die Vorlage für die Figur des Robert Wilson, des weißen Jägers in der Kurzgeschichte Das kurze glückliche Leben von Francis Macomber bildeten. Blixen-Finecke war mehr der Charakter, Philip das Äußere. Philip war es auch, der Hemingway die Geschichte eines Nachts am Feuer erzählt hatte.

1934 kaufte Hemingway ein 12 Meter langes Fischerboot, das er Pilar nannte, und unternahm Segeltörns in der Karibik. 1935 besuchte er erstmals Bimini, eine Inselgruppe der Bahamas, wo er viel Zeit verbrachte.

Kriegsreporter

Hemingway blieb auch nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg als Reporter tätig. So berichtete er zum Beispiel als Reporter im Griechisch-Türkischen Krieg, aus Deutschland von der Ruhrbesetzung, sowie vom Spanischen Bürgerkrieg. Während des Aufenthaltes in Spanien entstand unter dem Eindruck eines Aufenthaltes in Ronda Tod am Nachmittag, ein historisches Sachbuch über die Kunst des Stierkampfs. Am Zweiten Weltkrieg nahm er, u.a. an der Ardennenoffensive, als Kriegsberichterstatter teil. Zeitweilig wechselte er auf die Seite der Aktiven und führte in einer umstrittenen Rolle als Kommandeur oder Berater eine kleine Gruppe von Widerstandskämpfern in Rambouillet. Im August 1944 erlebte er die Befreiung von Paris mit.

Hemingway behauptet in einem posthum veröffentlichten Brief, er habe in beiden Weltkriegen 122 deutsche Soldaten getötet. An einer anderen Briefstelle gibt er vor, einen Kriegsgefangenen mit mehreren Schüssen getötet zu haben. Aufgrund der Gerüchte über Kriegsverbrechen fand eine Befragung Hemingways durch eine Kommission statt, die ihn jedoch entlastete. Auch ein Gutachten der Universität Hamburg von 2008 kommt zu dem Ergebnis, es handle sich bei den einschlägigen Briefpassagen um „fiktionale“ Aussagen. Dennoch hatten die Briefe Hemingways vor Vorliegen des Gutachtens Anlass zu Diskussionen gegeben: Die Stadt Triberg im Schwarzwald setzte nach öffentlichem Druck 2002 das geplante Festival „Hemingway Days“ ab. In Schruns im Montafon gab es vorübergehend Proteste gegen die Errichtung eines Hemingway-Denkmals.

Nobelpreisträger

Während eines Venedig-Aufenthaltes im Dezember 1948 lernte Hemingway die damals 18-jährige Adriana Ivancich kennen. Er verliebte sich in das junge Mädchen, das ihn zu dem Roman „Über den Fluss und in die Wälder“ inspirierte. Die platonische Liebesgeschichte, die von einem ausgiebigen Briefwechsel begleitet war und die Ehe des Schriftstellers ernsthaft belastete, dauerte bis 1955.[18]

Am 28. Oktober 1953 erhielt Hemingway den Pulitzer-Preis und 1954 den Literaturnobelpreis, was maßgeblich durch die Neubewertung seines bisherigen Werkes, infolge der Veröffentlichung von Der alte Mann und das Meer geschah. Die Novelle spielt in Hemingways Wahlheimat Kuba. Auf Kuba wird Hemingway heute noch verehrt: Es gibt Museen, Literaturfestivals und Münzen, die dem Nobelpreisträger gewidmet sind.

1954 hielt sich Hemingway in Uganda auf. Dort überlebte er schwer verletzt zwei Flugzeugabstürze an aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen.

Die Jagd, das Hochseefischen, das Boxen und vor allem der Stierkampf faszinierten ihn, was sich auch in seinem Gesamtwerk widerspiegelt. Seine literarischen Helden sind typische Beispiele der „Lost Generation“ (Gertrude Stein); sie versuchen, ihr Leben zu meistern, und ertragen ihr Schicksal mit Fassung, was Hemingways knapper Schreibstil besonders betont.

Politische Position

Unter den Biographen Hemingways wurde die Frage seiner politischen Positionierung kontrovers diskutiert. Den einen gilt er als „bewusst unpolitischer“ Autor, die anderen ordnen ihn klar dem linken Lager zu.

1936 ließ Hemingway sich zwar in das Präsidium des antifaschistischen „Kongresses der Schriftsteller zur Verteidigung der Kultur“ (Congrès international des écrivains pour la défense de la culture) in Paris wählen, der, wie erst später bekannt wurde, teilweise von Moskau finanziert wurde. Doch nahm er weder an dem Kongress, noch an den weiteren Arbeiten des Präsidiums teil. In seinen Publikationen über den Spanischen Bürgerkrieg nahm er zwar Partei für die Kämpfer gegen die Truppen Francos, doch ließ er keinerlei Sympathie für linke Organisationen oder Dogmen erkennen.

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg hat sich Hemingway Akten des amerikanischen Geheimdienstes OSS zufolge bereit erklärt, bei einer Reise nach China seine Erkenntnisse dem OSS weiterzugeben. Doch nach dem Krieg unterstellte ihm das FBI, Kommunist zu sein oder zumindest mit den Kommunisten zu sympathisieren. Der Washingtoner Resident des sowjetischen Geheimdienstes MGB verdächtigte Hemingway hingegen des Trotzkismus und berichtete 1948 nach Moskau, dieser habe „Attacken auf die Sowjetunion“ geführt.

Krankheiten und Tod

Depressionen und übermäßiger Alkoholkonsum begleiteten ihn die meiste Zeit seines Lebens. Manche Autoren schreiben Hemingway (und seinem Vater) das Krankheitsbild der bipolaren Störung zu. Am 25. Juli 1960 verließen Hemingway und seine Frau Mary Kuba endgültig und siedelten nach Ketchum in den Bergen Idahos um. Im gleichen Jahr hielt er sich mehrere Monate in Spanien auf, wo er ernsthaft krank wurde. Er erlebte einen andauernden Zustand von Depression und schwerer Erschöpfung. Im Oktober kehrte er in schlechter Verfassung aus Spanien nach Idaho zurück.

Schließlich wurde Hemingway in verschiedene Krankenhäuser eingewiesen. In der Mayo Clinic in Minnesota erhielt er Medikamente, aber auch Elektrokrampftherapie – allein im Dezember 1960 fünfzehn Anwendungen. Auch weitere Behandlungen mit Stromimpulsen bei einem zweiten Aufenthalt in der Mayo Clinic halfen ihm nicht. Ende Juni 1961 wurde Hemingway aus dem Krankenhaus nach Hause entlassen. Am 30. Juni kam er in Ketchum an. Nur zwei Tage später, am frühen Morgen des 2. Juli 1961, beendete Hemingway sein Leben im Alter von 61 Jahren selbst. Er erschoss sich – wie bereits sein Vater im Dezember 1928. Die hierbei verwendete Flinte hatte er bereits seit längerem als seine „glatte, braune Geliebte“ bezeichnet. Das Grab von Hemingway befindet sich auf dem Ketchum Cemetery.

Sein Buch Die Wahrheit im Morgenlicht (True at First Light) wurde 1999 posthum veröffentlicht. In ihm beschreibt Hemingway seine letzte Safari in Kenia, die er 1953 in Begleitung seiner vierten Frau Mary und seines Sohnes Patrick unternahm.
