The History Of Literature

Discussions of Ernest Hemingway tend to focus on the peaks of his career, which are typically centered around his most famous novels. But Hemingway was busy in between those novels too, writing articles, short stories, and letters to friends and professional acquaintances. In this episode, Jacke talks to Sandra Spanier, general editor of the monumental Hemingway Letters project, about the lesser known (but eventful) period in Hemingway's life and career covered in The Letters of Ernest Hemingway, Volume 6, 1934-1936. PLUS Byron scholar Andrew Stauffer (Byron: A Life in Ten Letters) stops by to discuss his choice for the last book he will ever read. Enjoy this episode?
