Whether composing novels in his Whitehead Street
writing studio or fishing for big game in local waters, Pulitzer
Prize-winning author Ernest Hemingway left a powerful legacy in Key
West. His zest for life, literary accomplishments and enduring affection
for the island throughout the 1930s are to be
commemorated Tuesday through Sunday, July 17-22, 2012, during the annual
Hemingway Days celebration. Events include a look-alike contest for
stocky white-bearded men resembling Hemingway, readings and book
signings, an awards ceremony for the renowned literary competition
directed by author and Hemingway granddaughter Lorian Hemingway, a
commemoration of the 113th anniversary of Ernest's July 21 birth, a
one-man play exploring the literary legend's life and motivations, a
museum exhibit of rare Hemingway memorabilia, a zany "Running of the
Bulls" and a three-day marlin tournament recalling Hemingway's devotion
to the deep-sea sport. It is a festival to be enjoyed by all! For more information and schedule of events go to http://www.fla-keys.com/hemingwaymedia/
