@@kimberlybrabson4719 Margot and Muriel are not this man's daughters. This is Patrick Hemingway. He is their hald uncle, because their father is Jack Hemingway. Ernest Hemingway's 1st son who he had with his 1st wife. Hadly. Ernest had Patrick and Gregory with his 2nd wife, Pauline. I only know this from the internet from reading articles and watching youtube videos about Ernest's life.
A lovely interview conducted in a dignified manner. I really enjoyed those brief glimpses of father and son together that appeared occasionally. Those times spent together reflected exactly what Patrick was saying about their close relationship. My father died when he was 52 years of age. It gave me an eerie feeling when I reached and passed that age. I imagine Patrick felt that emotion when he reached and passed 62 years of age. Thanks so much.
We visited a friend in Bozeman driving cross country in 1979. Camped on the side of a stream, caught small trout we pan fried immediately, in butter with a pinch of salt. Memorable
Curiously, there didn’t seem to be any photos of “Papa”. I’ve always loved Patrick’s articulate manner of speaking. He’s both funny and terribly honest. His involvement in Ken Burn’s fairly recent documentary was crucial in filling in the blanks. Still, having Ernest Hemingway as a father could not have been easy. Unfortunately, most writers at the time believed that alcohol enhanced their work. Maybe it does, in the beginning, but sooner or later it always takes more than it gives. It did not help that Ernest Hemingway’s head and body were pummeled severely throughout his life. I have been to Hemingway’s “Finca” in Cuba, about a 15 minute drive from downtown Havana to San Francisco De Paula, overlooking Havana below. If you love Hemingway, you must visit this place. Kept in the condition it was the day he left, it is hauntingly beautiful. You can FEEL Hemingway’s ghost. Patrick and his brothers loved visiting their father there when not in school during the summers.
I'm about half way through reading "Strange Tribe" written by the son of the youngest brother Gregory... nicknamed Gigi. John was born in 1960 and Ernest died a year later. Reading the letters between Ernest and Gregory you'll realize he was so difficult and bizarre that he contributed to his father's suicide. Greg was grinding on Ernest right to the very end. Grandson John had a challenging existence for many years from circling within Greg's orbit. The loving admiration Patrick has for his father makes Greg the polar opposite. I'm going to read Patrick's book, for sure.
Ernest Hemingway, one of the true very greats, I obviously have no way of knowing for sure, but I cant help feeling that things might have turned out better for him if he had lived out his days in Cuba.
Almost everything I've heard about Hemingway from people who knew him while he was alive confirmed that he was an arrogant asshole. He wrote some good books but he also wrote a lot of garbage best suited for use as toilet paper.
What a humble man who outlived his father and yet appreciates every minute they had together.
He also has daughters, Muriel and Margeux!

Thank you for this. 🍀 BLESS YOU
Dogs don’t live long enough. Neither do fathers. God bless you, Patrick.
Mine lived to 96. Definitely long enough. Longer is simply more . His wife today is 99, doing fine. He passed in seconds, no pain, no fear.
Good work, Patrick, in wrestling your Dad’s estate away from Cuba…Long and happy life to you!
Fascinating interview 😊
Thanks for that report, most fascinating 👏
What sweet old man!🌍🌕🌛🙏

The younger son Gregory was sadly screwed up.
Nice work on the story.
I had no idea Ernest still has a living son!

So glad Patrick's still alive in 2024 ❤
What a life!
This man looks so good
❤❤❤
❤
So sad that he had to fight for his father's estate.
Wow
He does sound very like his father.
Spitting image of his dad
Good Lord
a normal boy ❤
