AuthorsLive@GreenwichLibrary presents Mary V. Dearborn, author of the first full biography of Ernest Hemingway in more than fifteen years. Dearborn will discuss the extensive research she undertook for Ernest Hemingway: A Biography on Tuesday, May 23 at 7 p.m. in the Cole Auditorium.
Dearborn has penned a revelatory look into the life and work of the winner of the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature; a rich and nuanced portrait of a complex, enigmatic American artist, whose seven novels and six short story collections informed – and are still informing – fiction writing generations after his death.
The author draws upon a massive cache of papers Hemingway left behind when he fled his Cuban farm in 1961; his complete FBI file, detailing his wartime experience in pursuit of German submarines in the Caribbean; the recently opened KGB archive of American activities connecting Hemingway to the KGB as a “recruitment”; Hemingway family papers and more.
Books will be available for purchase and signing through Diane’s Books. This series is open to all at no charge. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. For more information, please contact Marianne Weill at 203-622-7933, email authorslive@greenwichlibrary.org or visit greenwichlibrary.org/authorslive
