Hemingway House, 2

 Our tour(s) of the Hemingway Home and Museum continues...

As a war correspondent, D-Day (Gellhorn was there too)

Yes, but the major fish story would come from Cuba

Of the Paris years

A favorite movie

He generally had a writing studio apart from the apartments, houses...
the catwalk is no long there, but the studio is (see below)

Lush...

When he returned from Europe to find a swimming pool
had replaced his boxing ring, he threw his "last red cent"
at Pauline; now enshrined under glass near the pool

Fridge magnet in the gift shoppe...exhibiting standard Hemingway
literary gibberish; note that in the portrait his ears have been reattached

A brilliant historical novel

Hadley, as she was then

In the writing studio

Urinal from one of Hemingway's Key West watering holes;
it's recumbent, tiled-in by Pauline

The writing studio

Polydactyl paw prints

One of the Keys' few cellars; probably one of Florida's few cellars

Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas

Privacy fence Hemingway had built

Fun/fascinating side-story: for many years, under various
sponsorships, there was the International Imitation Hemingway
Competition, which I entered c. 1990. I didn't win, but my entry
was published in the above-pictured The Best of Bad Hemingway,
and is reproduced below. It is one of my few claims to literary
fame. So far.
