Ernest Hemingway: Titan of American Literature

Ernest Hemingway wrote “All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse.” One of the most influential writers of the 20th century, he has given us just that: A front-row seat at his musings on war, love, masculinity, morality, alcoholism, the American abroad, and the aimlessness of the lost generation. Through round-table discussions of The Sun Also Rises, A Movable Feast, and the short stories, we will investigate Hemingway’s spare, elegant, and emotionally ferocious stories. Whether you are discovering his works for the first time, or revisiting his brilliance, the works of Hemingway are likely to make a profound and lasting impression.
