…a photograph of Ernest Hemingway that I rather like:

This was taken in 1947 at his home in Cuba, and I just like the whole vibe here. He looks relaxed and healthy and confident, a larger-than-life man at the top of his game.

Incidentally, if you’re into Papa H, a new edition of A Farewell to Arms was published last week containing all 47 alternate endings he tried out and ultimately abandoned, packaged inside the original cover art. Looks like an interesting volume, although to be honest I haven’t read Farewell since high school and don’t recall being terribly moved by it. Perhaps it’s time to revisit it…
