naked hemingway?


so ive been pretty interested with Ernest Hemingway after we read that story of his. 

i thought id do a little research on him. my guess was that he was a major alcoholic based off of his novel, The Sun Also Rises, alone and yeah i was right. He was a very heavy drinker. Many think that later in his life he was in a depression, and it kind of shows in his writing as well. He had been through a lot in his life including WWII. he was also wounded in the war. He was a very infulencial writer in the 2oth century. he won both the nobel prize and pulitzer prize in 1953 and 1954.  Many of his works are now considered classics of American Literature. It was cool because over Thanksgiving break i went down to florida and we went to this restaurant called Hemingways and there were like pictures of him everywhere and i went into the bathroom and there was a naked picture of him on a boat. i though ms. clinch would appreciate that and probably just love it haha
