Mythbusting Hemingway with Author Rob Elder
Saturday, March 9, 2024 (5:00 PM - 6:30 PM) Ernest Hemingway Birthplace Museum 339 N Oak Park Avenue, Oak Park, IL
As part of our Hemingway in the 21st Century series, we discuss one of the latest books added to the Hemingway anthology, Mythbusting Hemingway: Debunking Hemingway Myths and Celebrating the Extraordinary Stories of His Life. Co-authored by Thomas Bevilacqua and Robert K. Elder, we will be joined by Oak Park's own Elder to discuss the many myths of Hemingway. This discussion will be led by Carla Whitacre Mayer, who heads up the Outreach and Education initiatives for the foundation.
In this book, Hemingway legends--both true and debunked--are informed by detective work the authors did for the Paris Review, Chicago Tribune, and Huffington Post. For this volume, the authors conducted fresh interviews and scholarship that shed new light on the man, his work, and legacy.
The event is FREE, but please register here.
