irected by award-winning D filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick (below, top), Hemingway tracks the meteoric rise and tragic fall of Ernest Hemingway (left), the prolific and complex author who suffered from chronic alcoholism, traumatic brain injuries and serious mental illness. At the age of 61, Hemingway died by suicide, leaving behind an unparalleled body of artistic work and a difficult emotional legacy for those closest to him. Influential, infuriating, gender-bend- ing, genius, adventurous, amorous— Hemingway was all those and much more. “Seeing him as a vulnerable, anxious, sometimes Hemingway depressed person who really wrestles with A Writer (1899–1929) his legacy, his art, the relationships in his Mon (4/5) at 8pm, 10pm on GBH 2 life—that all came out in the process of Tue (4/6) at 12pm on GBH 44 making the film,” Novick said.

The idea for the Hemingway film originated in 1995 when Novick visited the writer’s house in Key West and saw the actual typewriter he used to write The Snows of Kilimanjaro. 14 EXPLORE GBH | APRIL 2021 COVER STORY Hemingway: Separating the Man from the Myth The Kennedy After talking with the production team, she reached out to Hemingway’s family and met with his only living son Patrick Hemingway, now 92. “He embraced the idea of having us make Connection this film and have it be the comprehensive work that hadn’t ucked away in the John F.
