Ernest Miller Hemingway was one of the most famous and influential novelists and short story writers of the twentieth century. He was born on the 21st of July in 1899 to a doctor, Edmonds Hemingway, and a singer, Grace Hall Hemingway. He published about 15 books during his lifetime and created his own unique and highly recognizable prose style, which won him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. Hemingway still exerts a strong influence on modern writers today, such as Chuck Palahniuk, J.D. Salinger, Bret Easton Ellis, Hunter S. Thompson, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who have all stated they were affected in some way by his books. Hemingway was also an accomplished fisherman and outdoorsman with a huge appetite for drink, food, and life in general. But in 1961, he took his own life at his home in Ketchum, Idaho while suffering from numerous health problems and severe depression. -Jason Earls Quote: “A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” Fact: Hemingway wrote regularly for his high school newspaper, The Trapeze. He mainly wrote humorous articles using the writing style of Ring Lardner. Quote: “Courage is grace under pressure.” Quote: “I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.” Quote: “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” Fact: Hemingway said the best rules for writing were those he received while working on the Kansas City Star newspaper. Here are the rules: “1. Use short sentences. 2. Use short first paragraphs. 3. Use vigorous English. 4. Be positive, not negative.”
