Hemingway happiness, horrors and places to visit - and a six word story challenge

 

Hemingway House

The top Hemingway attraction is the museum at Key West. He had a menagerie of animals. Including the famous Hemingway cats. He also travelled around the world.

Hemingway History & Books

I saw a film based on a Hemingway book about a soldier who falls in love with a nurse. The whole things made no sense. After reading that the author himself fell in love with a nurse, but she later married somebody else, and that Hemingway was recruited as a spy, this unlikely jumbled work of supposed fiction turns out to be based on fact and makes more sense.

I had also wondered why Hemingway was honoured by a statue in Cuba. Now I know he lived there and was honoured.  Although he met Castro only once, they admired each other.

Hemingway\s house answers some queetions and poses others. He killed animals but kept many animals. For examples, six toed cats renamed Hemingway cats.

Travel Landmarks to Look For, For Hemingway Fans

Whether you are amazed and awed or appalled, you cannot help being interested in Hemingway. As a writer I love the story about the six word story challenge. He is often quoted as having answered this challenge, but during his lifetime it was not recorded, and it was found  to have been used years earlier by others.
