The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum Gets the Hemingway Papers from Cuba

by Eric Franklin on October 29, 2009

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum is set to receive a collection of Hemingway’s papers from Cuba (interesting given the history of Cuba and US relations during JFK’s time). The papers include corrected proofs of “The Old Man and the Sea,” a move script of that novel, an alternate ending to “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” along with thousands of personal letters. It’s been a long time since I read either of those books but I’d love to hear what the alternate ending turns out to be.

The full story is posted over on The Boston Globe.
