Surviving as a Hemingway

Having a world-renowned last name hasn't been easy for John Hemingway.

The much-written-about troubles of his Nobel- and Pulitzer-winning grandfather echoed in the life of Gregory/Gloria Hemingway, Ernest Hemingway's youngest child and John's father. It's his dad's woes - the lesser-known Hemingway tragedy of all-out gender confusion complicated by family legacies of alcoholism, drug abuse, mental illness and failed marriages - that for decades concerned John Hemingway.
