Hemingway’s St. Louis, How St. Louisans Shaped His Life And Legacy, Andrew Theising
Andrew Theising joins us to discuss his latest book, Hemingway’s St. Louis, about the five Saint Louis families that shaped the life that shaped the stories. Hemingway wasn't from St. Louis, but St. Louis changed his life. Most of his greatest experiences stemmed from the St. Louisans he married and befriended: the expatriate years in Paris, the house in Key West, his first African safari, fishing expeditions in the Gulf Stream, his Cuban estate, and so much more. His life was a raucous, creative, adventurous, and sometimes vicious series of events.
Guest: Dr. Andrew J. Theising, professor of political science at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville
Moderator: Laura K Young, Writer in Residence, Hemingway Foundation
