The Washington Times offers a piece on a new Hemingway
exhibit.
BOSTON (AP) - A new Ernest Hemingway exhibition puts a fresh
spin on the author’s colorful life and legacy by displaying his own books and
belongings alongside pop culture items from his time.
“Ernest Hemingway: A Life Inspired” opened Thursday at the
John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, which has become the leading
research center for Hemingway studies.
Visitors to the expanded show will see manuscripts for “A
Farewell to Arms,” ”The Sun Also Rises,” ”For Whom the Bell Tolls” and other
Hemingway works - but they’ll also glimpse popular paperback books from the
first half of the 20th century, as well as magazines, photographs and other
mementos pulled straight from his world.
It’s an elaborate attempt to portray “Papa” in his proper
context.
“It is now our pleasure to present a permanent Ernest
Hemingway exhibit that tells the writer’s story by weaving together his
literary masterpieces with his worldly inspirations,” said James Roth, the JFK
Library’s deputy director.
