The annual Hemingway Seminar, hosted by the The Community Library in Ketchum, Idaho, will again feature several Boise State faculty members and MFA graduate students. Each year, The Hemingway Seminar focuses on a particular text or theme in Ernest Hemingway’s oeuvre. This year, the Seminar will focus on “A Moveable Feast,” Hemingway’s posthumously published recollections of his time in Paris.
This year’s Boise State University panel includes Dr. Clyde Moneyhun, who will present “’A Moveable Feast’ as Travel Writing,” and Dr. Stacey Guill on “Hemingway’s Three Muses in ‘A Moveable Feast,’” focusing on Sylvia Beach, Hadley Richardson, and Gertrude Stein. Dr. Mac Test will lead a writing workshop inspired by “A Moveable Feast.” Test–along with Creative Writing MFA students J. Micaiah Lenz, Michele DeLong, and Brody Cunningham–will also lead breakout discussion groups during the seminar.
Through speakers, workshops and discussions, the Seminar will “explore Hemingway’s essays about his time in Paris in the 1920s, the atmosphere within which he developed his craft, and the many characters brought to life as he later recalled his memories from this seminal time,” according to the Community Library website.
