Interview Without the Author: Hemingway
By Brian Carr
Does This Gun Make Me Look Fat?
One of our favorite short-story collections is Ernest Hemingway’s debut, In our Time.
Recently we had a short-story collection picked up for publication, and we thought we’d ask Papa Hem a couple of questions to help us get geared up for the release.
Ernest:
1. How many Facebook friends should I have prior to the release of my story collection?
2. How often should I update my Facebook status? Should I tell people everytime I write? Should I tell people what I’m having for lunch?
3. What do you think are the pros and cons of Twitter?
4. How often should I update my blog, and which three blogs are the most important for me to link to and why?
5. So, Gertrude Stein was a looker. Ever hit that?
6. Who was better in the sack, Sherwood Anderson or F. Scott Fitzgerald?
7. Did it hurt? That last bit? You know, the kaboom.

I slept with Dark Laughter the other day. Does that count?
joseph cavano said:I read Hemingway’s first published short story collection(In Our Time) back in grad school, taught it afterward, and based my first collection(Half-past Nowhere) on it.Like Hemingways classic, my collection traced the development of a young hero from”innocence to experience.” Unlike Hemingway’s alter ego, Nick Adams, my hero,Joey Fusaro was somewhat shorter and a lot more immoral.
