ARTA Meeting
Elaine Flynn will present: Hemingway's Four Wives. Elaine portrays Hemingway’s four wives. Hear them tell their stories about how it was to live with this man who changed literary history. Follow his career as the Hemingways move from Chicago, to Paris, to Key West, to Havana to Ketchum, Idaho. Learn about how the wives’ lives intersected with one another. Each wife gave Ernest what he needed during their time with him. Hadley, the Paris wife, gave him the sounding board he needed, Pauline introduced him to the rich set, Martha shared the excitement of being in a war zone and Mary offered the steadfastness which saw him through until the end of his life. Travel the world and learn about the adventures of the Hemingways in this one hour, one woman show.
