“Write the truest sentence that you know.” An evening about Ernest Hemingway – with Devid Striesow and Paul Ingendaay
Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) had an unparalleled influence on post-war literature. He brought laconic clarity into the billows of celebratory prose. Nobody else shaped the English language of the 20th century like he did. No one else was so many things at once: brilliant stylist, bestselling author, reporter in three wars. He was the embodiment of classical masculinity before 1968 came along and a cool new writing style appeared to supplant him. But Hemingway has never truly disappeared. Today, the literature Nobel Prize winner is being rediscovered: New German translations of five of his most famous books have been republished and his collected letters are being published in a 17-volume project in the USA. One hundred years after the first publication of “In Our Time” (1925), we celebrate the cultural icon Ernest Hemingway, the only American author who can hold his own alongside Mark Twain.
