Hemingway Festival

The University of Idaho’s Creative Writing Program is hosting its 7th annual Hemingway Festival, offering a plethora of free bookish activities; both observational and participatory. Over the course of four days, this includes readings by accomplished authors, MFA faculty and students, as well as a workshop and seminar. For $85, attendees can relish a six-course Cuban meal during “A Moveable Feast — Havana Nights,” inspired by Hemingway’s Idaho-Cuba connection and his beloved book The Old Man and the Sea. The sun of the festival around which all these events revolve, however, is the annual Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award recipient, Arna Bontemps Hemenway, who reads from his collection of short stories Elegy on Kinderklavier on the final day.
