-Está bien -dijo el hombre-. ¿Qué decidiste?
-No -dijo la muchacha-. No puedo.
-¿Querrás decir que no quieres?
-No puedo. Eso es lo que quiero decir.
-No quieres.
-Bueno -dijo ella-. Arregla las cosas como quieras.
-No arreglo las cosas como quiero, pero, ¡por Dios que me gustaría hacerlo!
-Lo hiciste durante mucho tiempo.

Wild Nights, the latest from Joyce Carol Oates, is a collection of five longish short-stories, each of which fantasizes about the end days of one of America’s best known and most respected writers. As indicated by the book’s complete title, there are stories about Poe, Dickinson, Twain, James, and Hemmingway, in that order. And strangely enough, at least to me, the stories seem to have been

Ernest Hemingway hat Spuren hinterlassen. Literarische Spuren sicherlich, er hat aber auch Spuren hinterlassen in den zahlreichen Städten und Orten, die er besucht hat. Museen sind für ihn eingerichtet worden, Stiftungen wurden gegründet, Zeitschriften mit seinem Namen werden verlegt, Kofferkollektionen und Füllfederhalter wurden nach ihm benannt,

Las diferencias en su forma de enfrentar y entender la literatura entre Updike y Hemingway son màs que evidentes, no importa lo que pueda decirse, allì esta su obra para explicarlo por sì msmo, allì tambien lo que conocemos de sus vidas pùblicas, por eso me pareciò una elecciòn tan extraña como azaroza el invitar a Updike a prologar un libro sobre Ernst (CURNUTT, Kirk. CONVERSACIÒN CON ERNEST HEMINGWAY. Barcelona, Paidos, 2007, 175 pp.), a veces estos terminan siendo velados ajustes de cuentas, en este caso es un franco testimonio de admiraciòn que concluye:"...El hombre era una celebridad pesimista cuando la literatura aùn engredaba celebridades: su obra es, todavìa hoy, una piedra de toque de la pasiòn artìstica y una prosa lùcida y clara..."JOHN UPDIKE

Bastardi, brutti, bastardi,
vigliacchi, come rasoi,
non lo trovi naive?
Per mia madre ero
un piccolo grande showman,
una e slotmachine.
Balla balla bello,
tanz shoner stern,
balla kleine puppe,
tanz techno ethnik,
und trinke trinke trinke
grosse disco cocktail.
Mais stella, reste avec moi,
je connais tes blessures,
through this wings of
destruction.
Un canarino pesa trenta grammi,
novantamila volte meno di me,
e mi guarda con attenzione,
un cuore e il potere
di emettere suoni lieti.
La sostanza planetaria
dominante, tranne alcuni,
determina il movimento,
gli umori del tempo;
t'immagini, a stare sopra
le loro influenze, la faccia
che farebbero, se da domani,
davvero, tutti quanti smettessero.

I briefly mentioned parental infallibility recently, and that lead me to seek out a story related to the topic from Hemingway, called “Indian Camp.” If you’re interested, you can read the whole thing (it’s pretty short) on the grand old internet. I should warn you, though, that if the story were a movie it would probably need a solid “R” rating for language and violence.
But today’s “Other People’s Words,” are the last few lines of the story, which are neither profane nor violent. They’re about the complicated issues of parenting, place, and dying.
“Is dying hard, Daddy?”
“No, I think it’s pretty easy, Nick. It all depends.”
They were seated in the boat, Nick in the stern, his father rowing. The sun was coming over the hills. A bass jumped, making a circle in the water. Nick trailed his hand in the water. It felt warm in the sharp chill of the morning.

Por Ciro Bianchi Ross (Barraca Habanera)Sucedió en el ya desaparecido Palacio de los Deportes, en Paseo y Mar, en el Vedado, cerca de donde se edificó después el hotel Havana Riviera, el 17 de noviembre de 1955. Ernest Hemingway acudió al lugar con el fin de recibir la medalla de San Cristóbal de La Habana, que le concedería el gobierno habanero en reconocimiento a sus méritos de escritor y por su larga residencia en la capital, y vio en exhibición una caricatura que mucho lo disgustó. En ella, el autor de El viejo y el mar aparecía como un dios Neptuno – con tridente y su correspondiente trago en las manos – emergido de los mares. Junto a la caricatura se hallaba su creador, Conrado W. Massaguer, y Hemingway, sin perder un minuto, se abalanzó sobre el artista y lo agarró por el cuello al tiempo que lo amenazaba con su puño derecho.-¡Oiga, deténgase! ¡Usted no puede tratar así a ese hombre que es un gran caricaturista y una gloria de Cuba!Hemingway, sin soltar a Ma
"He has never been known to use a word that might send a reader to the dictionary." - William Faulkner (about Ernest Hemingway)
"Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words?" - Ernest Hemingway (about William Faulkner) This is exactly why the late John Gardner exhorted the late Raymond Carver to read as much William Faulkner as he (Carver) could and then read as much

Me entere que  El viejo y el mar fueron hijos putativos de una caleta norteña llamada cabo blanco un lugarcito de la costa del Perú donde se agazapan grandes historias entre pescadores y un pez espada de color negro y tamaño monumental.
Semanas atrás llegaron a mi vida, yo lo tome con bastante sorpresa por que mis momentos de literatura se reducÃan a semanas en que Ernest Hemingway paso en la caleta talareña (Piura Perú) uno de sus momentos mas majestuosos, digo majestuoso básicamente por que este aire inspiro a que se genere una obra de ese gran escritor llamada "The Old Man and the Sea" (el viejo y el mar)Â
El lugar se llama "cabo blanco" y la novela se redacto en 1951 grandes episodios de esa novela que fue catalogada como uno de los trabajos de ficción más destacados del siglo XX se genero en el norte peruano, y de ese modo reafirmando el valor literario de la obra de Hemingway y una vez mas el Perú sirviendo a grandes astros de la historia humana como herra
Por Luis Hernández Serrano (Juventud Rebelde)«Yo fui su niño-perro. Sí, no piense mal de estas palabras. Así se le llamaba al muchacho que le traía las palomas muertas en el campo de tiro, cuando les disparaba con sus escopetas de cartucho».A Fernando Silvano Nuez Sánchez le falta una pierna, pero con sus 75 años le sobran memoria, optimismo y sinceridad para contarnos la excepcional experiencia que tuvo junto al Dios de Bronce de la literatura norteamericana: Ernest Hemingway.«Siento el deber y la necesidad de contar por primera vez a un periódico lo que yo aprendí de Hemingway, cómo lo conocí, la pequeña ayuda que le di y algunas cosas más desconocidas».Nos interesa el testimonio de Fernando Nuez, porque nos habla aquí del deportista Ernest Miller Hemingway, haciendo caso omiso de la exhortación «¡Dejen al hombre, solo la obra importa!».Su gran colega y coterráneo William Faulkner dijo de él que «siempre permaneció dentro de los límites de lo que conocía.

Word comes from The Guardian that everything that Ernest Hemingway left behind in Cuba seems to be caught between a rock and a hard place at the moment. On the one hand, his home and possessions belong to a government and a country which can't afford (and may lack the will) to ensure that they are preserved for future generations. On the other, is a U.S. government whose economic sanctions
Quelques citations d'Ernest Hemingway«Nous devons nous y habituer : aux plus importantes croisées des chemins de notre vie, il n'y a pas de signalisation.» «La première panacée pour une nation mal dirigée est l’inflation monétaire, la seconde est la guerre. Les deux apportent prospérité temporaire et destruction indélébile. Les deux sont le refuge des opportunistes économiques et politiques.» Notes sur la guerre - Septembre 1935 «Dans tous les arts, le plaisir croît avec la connaissance que l'on a d'eux.»«La sagesse des vieillards, c’est une grande erreur. Ce n’est pas plus sages qu’ils deviennent, c’est plus prudents.» L’Adieu aux armes
Boston's John Fitzgerald Kennedy Library has released a collection of 30 unpublished letters written by Ernest Hemingway to Marlene Dietrich. The collection also includes photographs and articles written about the pair.Hemingway and Dietrich started writing to each other when he was 50 and she was 47, remaining in close contact until the writer's suicide in 1961. But they never consummated their love, because of what Hemingway referred to as "unsynchronised passion".Although it was not a physical relationship, they certainly knew how to flirt. In a letter dated June 19 1950 at 4am, Hemingway wrote: "You are getting so beautiful they will have to make passport pictures of you 9 feet tall." He continued with a question: "What do you really want to do for a life work? Break everybody's heart for a dime? You could always break mine for a nickel and I'd bring the nickel."...There are now plans to put their correspondence into a book, including 31 letters from Dietrich to Hemingway. In
I have to say a few words about the nice but, perhaps misused Hemingway Theme for Wordpress among other blogging applications. The growing popularity of this theme cannot be questioned (there are nearly 440,000 results for "Powered by Hemingway".)
I believe that the layout for individual post pages using this theme is very nice. There is a very good delineation between post, post meta info, and comments while still allowing the comments to flow like a conversation from the original post. The site meta info and additional links at the bottom also works on this page type (assuming that this information doesn't get out of hand). Where this theme tends to break down is its implementation for blog homepages. People can (and have) debate about the merits of fewer or more blog posts per page and I could be persuaded either way depending upon the context and type (and frequency) of the posts, however, what is not argued as often is the convention of having chronological blog posts appearin
According to a recent Washington Post Article, The Fairfax County Library in Virginia is tossing out books! Classics by such authors as Virgil, Aristotle, William Faulkner, and Ernest Hemingway have not been checked out in the last two years, so they are being "weeded" out of the collection! The Library's new software provides a list of all the books that have been untouched in the last 2 years, and the plan is to move them out to make room for more popular works.Below is a list of their most recent victims:The Works of Aristotle, AristotleThe Sound and the Fury, William FaulknerThe Mayor of Casterbridge, Thomas HardyFor Whom the Bell Tolls, Ernest HemingwayDesolation Angels, Jack KerouacDoctor Zhivago, Boris PasternakRemembrance of Things Past, Marcel ProustOh Pray My Wings Are Gonna Fit Me Well, Maya AngelouThe Glass Menagerie, Tennessee WilliamsJane Eyre, Charlotte BronteDoctor Faustus, Christopher MarloweOne Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, Aleksandr SolzhenitsynBabylon Revisit
