Summary
This vivid portrait of Ernest Hemingway's Key West reveals both Hemingway the writer and Hemingway the macho, hard-drinking sportsman. His Key West years turned out to be his most productive: he finished A Farewell to Arms, started For Whom the Bell Tolls, and wrote several other books, including Green Hills of Africa, Death in the Afternoon and To Have and Have Not. He also turned out some of his best short stories. There was plenty of time left over for eating, drinking, fighting, fishing, chasing women and hanging out with "the mob." On the two-hour walking tour you will explore his favorite haunts. And you will follow along with Stuart McIver as he grows a beard and enters the infamous Hemingway Look-Alike Contest held at Sloppy Joe's during the annual Hemmingway Days festival.
