“All good books are alike in that they are truer
than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you
will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you;
the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the
places and how the weather was.”— Nobel Prize-winning novelist and short-story
writer Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), “Old Newsman Writes,” Esquire, December 1934
(The picture accompanying the post shows Hemingway with friend Carlos Guitierrez aboard the novelist's boat, the Pilar, in 1934.)
