Ernest Hemingway, who lived from 1899-1961, grew up in Oak Forest, Illinois, the son of a medical doctor and a musical---but domineering mother. Hemingway was married four times: Hadley Richardson, his Arkansas wife, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gellhorn, and Mary Hemingway. Hotchner wrote in the Introduction: On July 3, 1955, I went to visit Hemingway at his house in Key West. Ernest was living in Cuba, but he had come to Floride where he had lived with Pauline, his second wife, in the 1930s, for a brief visit. It was an elegant house in a seedy neighborhood, a house that was, for Ernest, filled with memories. But I find I'm black-assed in this house because Pauline is dead now and this house is full of memories of the good times and of the kids where they were young and a real part of my life and of the times I worked good in the bedroom here. This is where I wrote "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," upstairs here, and that's as good as I've any right to be. . ."
