“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” - Ernest Hemingway
Join Ernest Hemingway (J.T. Turner) as he reflects on his prolific works and adventurous, action-filled life. Starting as a reporter in Kansas City, Hemingway’s punchy writing style soon elevated him to international renown. The Nobel and Pulitzer prize winning author explores love, loss, vulnerability, war, and human connection, through timeless works like The Old Man and The Sea, For Whom The Bell Tolls, The Sun Also Rises, and A Farewell To Arms. In this well-researched and original portrayal of the legendary writer, award-winning actor & playwright J. T. Turner brings Hemingway vibrantly to life for both lifelong learners and secondary students.
