Virtual Event Presentation

We talk to Dr. Andrew Theising, author of Hemingway’s St. Louis, who delves into the five Saint Louis families that shaped his life and legacy. 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. We look forward to a discussion with Dr. Theising to explore the St. Louis connections that impacted many of those events.
