Today we have a special Thursday edition of Between the Covers: a conversation with Sandra Spanier, co-editor of The Letters of Ernest Hemingway. The first volume in a multivolume series is now available. Hemingway has been on my mind because I’m teaching a course on him at Hillsdale College this semester. He’s a good author to read and also a fascinating character to talk about. In our podcast, Spanier discusses why Hemingway is so important in American literature, her experience getting Hemingway material out of Cuba (where he lived for a couple of decades), and where readers who haven’t read much Hemingway should start.
