FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“I wish I could write you good letters the way you do,” Hemingway
wrote in a January 1958 letter from Cuba. “Maybe it is because I write
myself out in the other writing.”
Experts say the letters demonstrate a side to Hemingway that wasn’t part of
his persona as an author whose subjects included war, bullfighting, fishing
and hunting.
The Kennedy library foundation bought the letters from Ivancich in November,
and Hemingway Collection curator Susan Wrynn met the now-elderly gentleman
in Italy.
“He still writes every morning,” she said Wednesday. “Hemingway
encouraged him to.”
The letters, as a whole, show the author had a gentle side, and was someone
who made time to be fatherly and nurturing to a younger friend, said Susan
Beegel, editor of scholarly journal The Hemingway Review.
Hemingway’s letter about his cat’s death also showed the author’s struggle to
separate his private and public lives. Hemingway told how a group of
tourists arrived at his villa that day.
“I still had the rifle and I explained to them they had come at a bad
time and to please understand and go away,” he wrote.
But one wasn’t deterred, according to the letter, saying, “We have come
at a most interesting time. Just in time to see the great Hemingway cry
because he has to kill a cat.”
In multiple letters, Hemingway also asks about his friend’s sister Adriana
Ivancich.
The young Italian socialite became a muse for the writer after they met at a
duck-shooting outing in Italy. The woman was the model for the female lead
in Hemingway’s novel “Across the River and into the Trees,” Beegel
said.
Experts say Hemingway credited her visit to Cuba in 1950 with inspiring him as
he crafted the Pulitzer Prize-winning “The Old Man and the Sea.”
He wrote of the literary award in a June 1953 letter to his friend, saying, “The
book is back on the Best Seller lists due to the ig-noble Prize,” a
line Beegel sees as self-deprecating humour.
Hemingway went on to win the Nobel Prize in Literature the next year.
