Title:
Was Ernest Hemingway a good person?
Description:
In fifth year of English Philology at the University of Santiago de Compostela, a brilliant professor shocked me when he said in class that Hemingway was "a despicable man." I love this writer very much so, after class, I went to see him and I said that "despicable" is a very strong word. The scholar softened a bit, but insisted that Hemingway had a reputation of being a male-chauvinist. I later remembered an article from GQ magazine which said that allegedly Hemingway mistreated the women in his life. The hunting photographs and his passion for bulfighting are rather hateful to me too. And he was by all accounts a very heavy drinker. He was unkind to his friend Francis Scott-Fitzgerald, another favorite of mine, in A Moveable Feast. Was Hem a good man? I read today that a close Spanish friend of his - writer José Luis Castillo-Puche (shown here sharing a drink with my hero from Chicago) - said that, in truth, Ernest was a very shy and insecure man who married women he didn't love and who lived continually in horror of death, proving himself time and time again. The great theme of his works is "grace under pressure." I have the feeling that the extraordinary Cuban sailor from the Canary Islands Gregorio Fuentes (shown here with Hemingway, and at age 104) could probably have known better than most what his writer-friend was really like. In a way that reminds me of Kurt Cobain and Edgar Allan Poe, Ernest Hemingway met death in a very dramatic way, ending a life of amazing talent and sensitivity. Music: Elíades Ochoa y el Cuarteto Patria - "Hemingway delira" (Hemingway Raves) (Words and music by Luis Eduardo Aute)
