Join the IHE for a webinar titled Hemingway’s Faith with William Saunders (director of the IHE’s M.A. in Human Rights) and author Mary Claire Kendall.

Ernest Hemingway is hailed as one of the greatest writers from America’s golden age of literature. In her new book, Hemingway’s Faith, Mary Claire Kendall reveals something more. She makes the case for a deep spirituality underlying his life and writing, a spirituality that grew with his wounding in Italy during World War I, when he converted to Catholicism, prompting Charles Scribner III to call it “the most revealing portrait of the inner Hemingway since ‘A Moveable Feast.’”

Eschewing the popular stereotype of Hemingway as an irredeemable sinner, Kendall portrays the legendary writer as a quietly devout Catholic – who, though flawed, struggled to live his faith and imbedded it in his writing, iceberg-like, revealing his love of Mary, and understanding that “saintliness” is life’s lodestar.

This virtual event is free and open to the public.
