"Hemingway in Love"
This article collects information from a series of interviews which Hemingway gave late in his life about his relationships with his first two wives, women on who he drew for characters in "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," The Sun Also Rises, and other stories. It is very informative, given how important "experience" was to the creative process for Hemingway. Here is another story: the first Hemingway ever published in the American Men's Magazine Esquire, "Marlin off the Morro." Sherwood Anderson
