  • 35Th Ernest Hemingway Look-Alike Contest (Video)
    35th Ernest Hemingway Look-alike contest (Video) By FloridaKeysNewsBureau Special to SouthFloridaReporter.com, July 24, 2015 – KEY WEST, Fla. — More than 125 stocky white-bearded men resembling Ernest Hemingway are in Key West to compete in the 35th annual “Papa” Hemingway Look-Alike Contest that began Thursday night. Thursday’s competitors included Michael Groover of Savannah, Ga., husband of celebrity chef Paula Deen. Deen was in the audience, cheering Groover on when he was named a semi-finalist. The competition is a highlight of the island’s annual Hemingway Days festival honoring the writing talent, sporting pursuits and colorful lifestyle of the author who lived in Key West during the 1930s. Aspiring Ernests are vying for the prized title of “Papa” during the three-night competition at Sloppy Joe’s Bar, the famed Duval Street saloon that was a hangout for Hemingway and his cohorts. Many entrants are repeat contenders and most dress in sportsman’s garb reminiscent of the author. They parade across Sloppy Joe’s stage before crowds of spectators, attempting to emulate the “Papa” persona adopted by Hemingway in his later years. Contest judges are former winners including Wally Collins of Phoenix, Arizona, a white-bearded restaurateur who triumphed over rivals including his oldest son to take the 2014 title. The competition’s second preliminary round is set for Friday and the 2015 “Papa” is to be chosen Saturday night. Hemingway Days continues through Sunday with events including an offbeat “Running of the Bulls,” the Bacardi Oakheart Key West Marlin tournament and a short story competition directed by author and Hemingway granddaughter Lorian Hemingway.

Mostly, though, I’d like to thank the students who sat in these very seats last year and burst into spontaneous applause as my name was announced, instead of turning to each other and going, “What?!” As my colleagues know, and as you students who will become teachers or even workers in the “real” world will learn, there are days when you’re convinced it could go either way.

  • Ernest Hemingway
    ANALYSIS Garden of Eden (1986) (unfinished--censored and stolen by Feminists) Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) LITERARY CRIME “The truth about editing the work of a dead writer in such circumstances is that you can only cut to affirm his strengths, to reiterate the strategies of style for which he is known; whereas he himself may have been writing to transcend them. This cannot have been the book Hemingway envisioned… It should have been published for what it is, a piece of something, part of a design.” E. L. Doctorow “Braver than We Thought” The New York Times Book Review (18 May 1986) 1, 44-45 reprinted in Linda Wagner, ed. Ernest Hemingway: Six Decades of Criticism (Michigan State 1987) 330 quoted by Susan M. Seitz “The propriety of publishing, as a commercial endeavor, what a dead writer declined to see into print is, of course, dubious. The previous forages into the Hemingway trove have unfortunately tended to heighten our appreciation not of his talent but of his psychopathology.” John Updike “The Sinister Sex” The New Yorker 30 (June 1986) 85 “Were the scrupulous craftsman still alive, no case of vodka could ease the pain the publication of this novel [The Garden of Eden] would cause [him].” Lorian Hemingway “Ernest Hemingway’s Farewell to Art” Rolling Stone (5 June 1986) 41-42 quoted by Susan M. Seitz The Posthumous Editing of Ernest Hemingway’s Fiction Ph.D. dissertation, University of Massachusetts (1993) “I can report that Hemingway’s publisher has committed a literary crime. There is no way that the manuscript that I read, an extraordinary mass of unfinished work, could have been made into a smooth popular novel without the literary equivalent of ‘colorization’… [Scribner’s] has transformed these unfinished experiments into the stuff of potboilers and pulp….
