#EarnestHemingway ‘s #theoldmanandthesea was the first book I vividly remember reading as a young boy. I read it in #Montana in the dead of winter in the early 1970s. His son, Jack, was the first person I interviewed. I met Jack during my #gapyear when I was a #skibum in #SunValley, #Idaho.

“I don’t think I ever owned twenty pencils at one time. Wearing down seven number‑two pencils is a good day’s work.”
--Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)
From his 1958 “Paris Review” interview with George Plimpton

....::| L.AS Factoid |::... In a June 30, 1961 interview, Earnest Hemingway said a Life. And Scoreboards article inspired him to write "For Whom the Bell Tolls." (He shot himself two days later.)

“For Whom the Bell Tolls” and “The Old Man and the Sea” should have both been short stories. Long form prose was not Hemingway’s strength.
