ERNEST HEMINGWAY: A Short Biography
(By SimoTheFinlandized - 2021 CE)
===========================================; Born in Oak Park IL in 1899, Ernest Hemingway served
in the Red Cross during WWI as an ambulance driver
and was severely wounded in Italy. He moved to Paris
in 1921, devoted himself to writing fiction, and soon
became part of the expatriate community along with
Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, and
Ford Madox Ford. He revolutionized American writing
with his short, declarative sentences and terse prose.
He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954,
and his classic novella THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA
won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Known for his larger-
than-life personality and his passion for bull-fighting,
fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum,
Idaho on July 2, 1961.
