Hemingway in Paris

Event Type: Adult Program
Date: 5/5/2017
Start Time: 1:00 PM
End Time: 2:30 PM
Description:
 Learn the places that Hemingway frequented in Paris, such as La Closerie des Lilas, the café where he wrote his masterpiece, The Sun Also Rises, in a coffee fueled six-week sprint; as well as the famous people he associated with, such as Gertrude Stein and F. Scott Fitzgerald; and the painters that he says influenced his prose style (hint: Cézanne).

See period and contemporary photos (before/after) of the spots where Hemingway lived, worked, and partied, most of which are still in existence today. Discover the reasons that Hemingway went to Paris and how he got the chance to meet so many famous and influential people, such as Stein and Picasso. We will also discuss his relationships with his mentors, such as Sherwood Anderson and Stein, and with his "Paris" wives, Hadley and Pauline.
