Famous Works Include: The Sun Also Rises (1926), A Farewell to Arms (1929), For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940), and The Old Man and the Sea (1952).
One of the most famous stories involving Hemingway is about a bet between him and his fellow authors. In the 1920s, Hemingway bet $10 that he could write a complete short story in just six words. His colleagues were forced to pay up. His story: "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn."
Famous Quotes Include:
"Anyone who says he wants to be a writer and isn't writing, doesn't."
"I rewrote the ending to Farewell to Arms, the last page of it, thirty-nine times before I was satisfied. [The problem was] getting the words right."
Hope you've enjoyed this blast from the past from a 2008 edition of the
