John Hemingway Shares Family Legacy

April 21, 2008

http://news.rollins.edu/john_hemingway_shares_his_fami.shtml

On April 17 Rollins College and the Master of Liberal Studies Program sponsored a reading and discussion by John Hemingway, Earnest Hemingway's grandson. Held at the First Congregational Church on Interlachen Avenue, Hemingway shared excerpts from his book, Strange Tribe: A Family Memoir.

In Strange Tribe, Hemingway reveals the "strange" dynamics between Nobel Prize-winning writer Ernest Hemingway and his third and youngest son, Gregory. Gregory, John's father, attempted to live up to Ernest's manly reputation, but as a cross-dresser and (eventually) a transsexual, Gregory was obsessed with having both masculine and feminine characteristics and never lived up to his father's expectations.
