The Genius of Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway, one of the towering presences in American literature, is published this season in the Library of America and explored in a forthcoming PBS documentary by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick airing in Spring 2021. Novick joins co-producer Sarah Botstein and Robert W. Trogdon, editor of LOA’s "Ernest Hemingway: The Sun Also Rises & Other Writings 1918-1926," for a sneak preview of the film and a conversation about Hemingway’s literary genius, his complexity, and his controversial legacy.
Presented in partnership with the Association of Literary Scholars, Critics, and Writers and the Hemingway Society.

Yes, Hemingway's work speaks to us today. Lost generation, lost of faith, and honest seeking for the truth of it all.

I can't believe I'm the first commenter. At any rate, thanks for this! I love LOA and the films of Burns and Novick. I've been expectant and excited for months that such fine and talented people are shaping (what will no doubt be) the definitive film of such a fine and talented writer. Can't wait! Cheers from Canada.

As the translator of For Whom the Bell Tolls into Portuguese (Bertrand Publisher) and scholar of the great writer and man, I enjoyed this video. Thanks for the opportunity to watch and hear it.

Hemingway was a person I like to learn from and experience literature from.....but given his track record with using his friends...I think I would bow out of THAT one......

There is something to be taken from Hemingway today.....
