Great writer, read every book, every article he ever wrote... what killed Hemingway was alcohol....drinking hard for thirty years will affect your mental and physical health but he lived the life he loved..

Hemingway would probably laugh at all these weirdos obsessed with him and dressing like him

Where I live there there is also a full art festival going on dedicated to him. Its really thoughtful in all honesty. Key West really treasures this man not only for writing novels but just in general. We still have where he sat at and at what resturant, what street he walked down on, what tree he touched, All of his great great grandcats, his house now became a museum dedicated to him

I believe Hemingway administered a kind kill to himself just as he would try to do for any animal.

I think he's now enjoying such a renaissance in terms of personal popularity because he's viewed as authentic and real. People are celebrity-obsessed and want to experience a piece of him and his world. Mr. Hemingway cared deeply about his work. You hear him say that he's always working on a book. Despite his enormous fame, he lived in an era before such fame could overwhelm or compromise a person's principles. He didn't go on book tours, make the rounds of talk-shows, or endorse products. He collaborated on a number of movies based on his stories but disliked most of them. His fame came out of his revolutionary style of writing, one that fit and, in many ways, shaped modern times, i.e., the 20th-century and beyond. He lived his art. Yes, there was an element of imagery and showmanship but he really engaged in the activities and pursuits most commonly associated with the writer--bullfighting, sailing, fishing, hunting. Mr. Hemingway was a "man's man", in an age that now seems to frown on overt masculinity. He was the real deal, dedicated to his art but also living the life he wanted to live, largely unaffected by wealth and adulation. In fact, he often complained privately how such demands on his time were unwelcome and exasperating, wanting to be left in peace, so he could work. Yes, he had some personal faults but who doesn't? The author's final years certainly were tragic for him. I have immense sympathy for his condition and demise. The work, and the man, live on--in Key West and, far more importantly, in the history of world literature.

Fame didn't eat him; he was in two plane-crashes in Africa in 1954, one of which gave him brain damage from trying to bash the plane door open with his head because the rest of him was too burned to use. He in turn received electro-shock therapy which left gaps in his memory and severely increased his depression. It all began with those crashes.

I always pictured him wit a voice like Sean Connery lmao

I'll remember you, E.H.

I can’t imagine a watering hole, existing in Hemingway’s time, that he would fail to sample. 🇺🇸❤️

Sloppy Joe's present location did Not searve Hemingway

A true genious

Key Westll be a great place to blow my brains out when I run outta one-liners

he was friends with somebody from my little town the man from my little town got rich in mining i went to his house when i was little he had a trophy room from all of his hunting trips i remember a lion and ahuge bear i dont believe in tropy hunting but when i was little it was pretty impressive

*GASPS* O.O they should tell us more about this!

@MrJcbetz Talk about a drastic change, my goodness. I'm from California and I'm home on break but I go to school in Indiana. Yes, material things do indeed control life here, especially in Los Angeles, but I plan on getting away from that. My grand master plan (

@MrJcbetz Good for you! As bad as people are, I still have faith in the world; the sunshine, the air, the beautiful creatures all around. As for my country, I plan on strapping a backpack on after finishing college and just walking, leaving society behind for a while. I need some time to myself, away from the noise.

"foy- err"? Foy-ay

He aged so rapidly ...

He never drank in that bar. Captain Tony's is the location of the Sloppy Joe's he drank in.

Haemochromatosis!!! One of the many symptoms is depression and pain the abdomen. He was in a lot of pain. :(

Hemingway suffered from hemachromatosis on both sides of his family. Hemachromatosis is a genetic precursor for suicide. That is why there are so many suicides in his family, on both sides. It was not known in the 1950s, nor in the early 1960s, that hemachromatosis is a genetic precursor for suicide. It is amazing that he lived as long as he did, and likewise, amazing that he survived all the combat he survived. There were other factors involved with his suicide, particularly the fact that he never forgave himself for leaving Hadley, his first wife, even though she forgave him. But the main thing was hemachromatosis. Today, it is a very treatable condition. RIP, Hemingway.

@MrJcbetz He lived through the horrors of several wars, and I think he lost faith in the world and in life.

Love his work, but you'd think he'd have had the courtesy to Mary to shoot himself outside rather than in the house. What a flippin mess that must have been.

Anemia.

@MrJcbetz take a look at the world today and you'd see EXACTLY why he'd be suicidal.

That lady has a hot

Castro should have been here!

:)

LIES. Look around.

People should do meditation. AMERICAns eat a lot drink a lot without any parameters. Meditation still ur body at all levels and helps body to correct by itself. So such things will not happen. Too much lust for money and things kills a man and americans r victims of that. Meditate and save urself

I love Papa, but both Celine and Bukowski were, if not his equals, his superiors.
