We will convene the evening of June 7th, with a grand opening reception at the Hemingway House on Whitehead Street. Sessions will begin the following morning and offer papers on a wide range of topics relevant to Hemingway and with special emphasis upon his Key West writings and influences. Other scheduled programs include guest lectures by family, friends, and authors (TBA) who have personal and professional memories of the writer. We also have planned seminars with writers, walking tours of important literary sites, a visit to the Key West Art and Historical Museum displaying Hemingway's wwi Red Cross uniform (complete with bullet holes and blood stains), movie screenings of Hemingway films, a wonderful sunset champagne sail around the island, access to water activities (deep sea fishing , sailing, snorkeling, a tour of the Dry Tortugas or the site of the former house on stilts, etc.), and a few surprises yet to be announced. The site of the conference will be the beautiful Casa Marina Hotel built by Henry Flagler in the 1920s. Stuart Mclver reports that in the 1930s Hemingway dined there occasionally with friends or business acquaintances , although he disgruntled the management "with his disdain for their dining dress code, particularly the absence of socks on his sandaled feet." Mclver further states, "He did however, yield slightly by wearing long trousers, hopefully with a leather belt instead of a rope." We encourage you to enjoy the "relaxed" attire ofthe Island, as well. The resort provides both grand and intimate spaces true to the flavor of Key West during Hemingway's days on the Island. You will find the hotel up-scale yet wonderfully relaxing with its Atlantic views and two swimming pools overlooking the beautifully landscaped, palm-strewn lawns.
