2015 PEN Hemingway Grant Success

For 2015, a non-conference year, we lowered our sights in the Hemingway Foundation's fund-raising campaign in support of the PEN/Hemingway Award in first fiction. And we exceeded expectations.

In 2014, this ramped-up effort resulted in a $10,000 boost as generous members stepped up to meet the $5,000 challenge offered by Steve Paul and Carol Zastoupil. Based on that success, the foundation board last spring voted to increase the annual donation in support of the award program by $4,000 to a total of $15,000.

This “Faulkner and Hemingway” conference invites proposals for twenty-minute papers on any topic related to William Faulkner and/or Ernest Hemingway.  All critical approaches, including theoretical and pedagogical, are welcomed.  We are particularly interested in inter-textual approaches that treat both authors.

Exhibit--Ernest Hemingway: Between Two Wars

September 25, 2015 through January 31, 2016
This is the first ever major museum exhibition devoted to the work of Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961), one of the most celebrated American authors of the 20th century. Organized in partnership with the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, it includes multiple drafts of Hemingway's earliest short stories, notebooks, heavily revised manuscripts and typescripts of his major novels—The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, and For Whom the Bell Tolls. The show also presents correspondence between Hemingway and his legendary circle of expatriate writers in 1920s Paris, including Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Sylvia Beach. Focusing on the inter-war years, the exhibition explores the most consistently creative phase of Hemingway's career and includes inscribed copies of his books, a rarely-seen 1929 oil portrait, photographs, and personal items.
