Happy 115th Birthday to Ernest Hemingway.

I took this photo of a book I’m reading called “The Only Thing That Counts: The Ernest Hemingway-Maxwell Perkins Correspondence”edited by Matthew J. Brucoli.  If you can find a copy you must buy it.

The above is from a letter Sunday November 10th, 1929 Enroute to Berlin in which he writes:

“Have been writing well on a story last 3 days so dont give a damn about anything - I saw Scott last week - looking very well and healthy.”

“You all must be sick of (the Sun also Rises).  If you are I dont blame you - I think we should sell an awful lot of this though because the whole fiction racket is going to go to hell may be in a couple of years-”
