The Short Happy Life of Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway, many scholars say, was the greatest American author of the 20th century. Were you forced to read this author in high school? Did you love or hate that assignment? (BTW- I hated him at age 17). But who was this guy actually? He was awarded both the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes, a very rare two-fer for any author. In both his books and personal life, he often appeared to cultivate a highly publicized, ultra-masculine image. But is that his real story? His classic works often reveal a main character (much like himself) tortured by insecurity, self-loathing, and guilt. In a rare appearance, we welcome back series co-founder, Kassia, to help dissect Hem’s bizarre personal and literary career…which ended tragically by suicide at the tender age of only 61. In our super-narcissistic, celebrity world of today, Hemingway’s amazing stories continue to resonate in our time. He often asks us to look in the mirror…but do we really want to?

I know a lot of our listeners appreciate our scripted, SNL-style comedy skits - because I read your emails. We give you a holiday feast here. You get TWO skits today – in other words, both turkey and prime rib for your Scandal Sheet holiday – both featuring my regular co-host Ellie and our versatile composer, John Hoekstra who moonlights as a Dustin Hoffman-esque character actor by night (he can do anything).

Our music is composed, preformed, and produced by the genius John Hoekstra. You Tube https://youtube.com/channel/UC2Gon6qb9ar07BP0hsNPXdA SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/user-363005792
