2024 Ernest Hemingway Seminar: TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT

2024 Ernest Hemingway Seminar: TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT In-Person

Join us September 5-7, 2024, for our annual Ernest Hemingway Seminar. This year we'll delve into Hemingway's 1937 novel, To Have and Have Not. The story follows fishing boat captain Harry Morgan between Depression-era Key West and Cuba as he turns to running contraband in order to make ends meet. Over three days we'll explore the novel's social and political contexts, its creation and critical reception, and the art it inspired.

Speakers will include Dr. Kirk Curnutt, author of Reading Hemingway's To Have and Have Not (Kent State University Press, 2017), Florida Keys historian Brad Bertelli, and a Boise State University panel with Dr. Clyde Moneyhun and Dr. Stacey Guill.

The seminar opens Thursday, September 5, at 5:00 p.m. with a reception and our opening keynote at 6:00 p.m., then runs all day Friday and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with a closing reception on Saturday from 4:30-6:00 p.m. A full schedule of events is forthcoming.

Tickets to attend in person are $95. Space is limited.
