1 November 2009:
An odd Hemingway sighting, detailed from a EH listserv from a message from student Elizabeth Onheiber:
"In the online game World Of Warcraft, there is a NPC (non-player character) named Hemet Nesingwary who gives a chain of quests in which you have to slay various types of animals. The character is a dwarf who is bald on the top of his head, but with a huge bushy white beard, and looks like an old fashioned Englishman on a safari. The name Hemet Nesingwary is an anagram of Ernest Hemingway. When you complete his chain of quests, you get an achievement called 'Hills Like White Elekk.' (An elekk is an animal in the game resembling an elephant). He is also the author of the in-game book 'Green Hills Of Stranglethorn', the pages of which have been strewn across one zone and it's the player's task to gather them."

28 July 2009:
The MF argument continues, but the Hemingway-Is-Now zeitgeist gets the official imprimatur from NPR...
*
28 July 2009:
The controversy over the new Moveable Feast restoration becomes a full-on, spittle-flecked donnybrook -- follow it at your peril, as at The Huffington Post.
*
28 July 2009:
Whatta shock: the suicidal-Hem musical Too Close to the Sun closes in London on August 8, sooner than expected. Let's hope it doesn't travel.
*
22 July 2009:
Who is thus knucklehead at NJ.com, claiming that fighting for the Republicans in Spain wasn't the right thing to do, and Hem and Orwell should've, like Henry Miller, just cover his own ass and run? And that such idealistic participation fighting fascism is akin to George Bush's invasion of Iraq?!
*
21 July 2009:

Scribners lets loose with a new, extended, director's-cut edition of A Moveable Feast -- can't have too much. But is this new Hem-ish zeitgeist abrewing?
*
28 May 2009:
A Hemingway musical! Inexplicably, a song-&-dance show about Hem's last, fading, shotgun-hunting days... titled Too Close to the Sun... Brow knuckled... Feeling faint...
*
Movie adaptations? It's been years since anyone bothered, but buckle up: there's a straight-on Hotchner-based biopic on its way, a latter-year examination starring Anthony Hopkins (no!) and directed by Andy Garcia (no! no!), a Tommy Lee Jones version of Islands in the Stream, the already ignored film of The Garden of Eden (2008), no less than five short-subject versions of The Killers in the last two-and-a-half years, and so on... What's going on?
