Description
When Ernest Hemingway arrived in Kansas City for the first time, he was 18 years old, fresh out of high school in Oak Park and just past his last boyhood summer up in Michigan.
Kansas City was a crossroads town, where East and West, North and South collided, not only geographically but culturally as well. It was a bustling and gritty urban gateway to the West. In the Hemingway world, it typically represents the brief hinge between Oak Park and Italy. Kansas City gave Hemingway his apprenticeship in the writing business, and a launching pad to Europe and beyond. No looking back.
This year's conference theme is War & Ink. Check our the Hemingway Society website for the full program of panels, speakers, and activities.
