Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - August 14, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news a a Noire la fair vol. 92, to. 191 it. Pleasant Iowa priday evening August 14, 1970 Price to cents these Days by John Chamberlain do the Young read Hemingway in 1933, when things were trying to stagger to new beginnings a Young Man named Arnold Gingrich got a Promise from Ernest Hemingway to contribute to a new Magazine called Esquire for double the fee that was paid to anybody else. It was the making of the Magazine for with Hemingway a first contribution a fishing article called a Marlin off the Morro a cuban letter a in his hand the Young editor was Able to bring in other newly popular or fashionable writers such As Dashiell Hammett. It was $300 for Hammett and therefore $400 for Hemingway the Only notable to let or. Gingrich Down was Alexander Woollcott who withdrew his Promise to contribute because of a a clod dish editorial change in a title of a piece by ring Lardier or. Hemingway incidentally was glad to see Walcott the a fat unprintable a As he called him go. The years have passed and Esquire has become prosperous and Happy though hardly As Good As it was when p. Scott Fitzgerald Ben Hecht and Hemingway were featured contributors. Its not the magazines fault a we dont have the Talent today that we had in the thirties but this autum there will be a Flash of the old Days when the Magazine goes to press with a goodly chunk of a novel a islands to the Stream a which Hemingway started in the forties and put aside in an unfinished condition. Too or. Gingrich now the publisher of Esquire has read the whole manuscript. He thinks highly of the first portion called a Bimini a but considers the rest a bit underdone the sort of thing that Hemingway would never have let go out of his Possession without much amplification and revision. The portion of a Bim toil that will appear in Esquire however has Gingrich a Praise As a piece of writing that has a More peaks than Alto so this coming october Esquire will be reliving its great age once again As it did a year or More ago with the excavation of a lost piece by Scott Fitzgerald. In a sure the Hemingway a Obi mini will sen Esquire. Anything from the great Days of the twenties and thirties seems now to be Worth its weight in Gold. The recent biography of Scott Fitzgerald a wife a Zelda a sold 110,000 copies in a month a curious commentary on the fact the the Book which originally a a made Fitzgerald a this Side of Paradise a was a Best seller of the Early twenties with a Mere 40,000 copies. But what i will be watching for is the reaction of the Young to a new Hemingway Book. Will it be considered a relevant a or is Hemingway a figure who appeals Only to those Over 30, the ones who a can not be trusted a the Young i meet a and i have had a couple of them occupying my Bam this summer a Are not Hemingway characters though like the Young Ernest Hemingway they reject Bourgeois society. Hemingway was an action Man. He was against wars theoretically but he sought them out to test his courage. He boxed he hunted he was an Early skier and everlastingly he. Fished. He made his writing lean and masculine. When he wanted peace he made it a a separate but he wanted no peace in Spain or at a later Date in world War ii in the Huertgen Forest. This is not the life style of the new dissidents. Event when they love the Viet Cong in their perverse Way they do not go to North Vietnam to enlist with the communists. Unlike the Hemingway generation of dissidents they think they must travel in clusters. Hence the thousands who take the Road to the Rock fests. Where they sit and smoke pot and listen to music that is to use the description of the dutch psychoanalyst Joost Meerloo a full of baby pot unlike Hemingway a alcohol induces withdrawal which is not to be taken As anything More than a comparative recommendation of alcohol. When the new dissidents move into action they vent themselves destructively without skill quite unlike the Hemingway Mastery of safari life. Hemingway read Turgenev doting on a a sportsman a Turgenev of course was the anatomist of russian nihilism. But do the Young read Hemingway will they read tile a last Hemingway has the connection Between the dissident generations been Cut id like to know what Arnold Gingrich and Esquire find out.
