Hemingway’s Sun Valley & “In Our Time”

The Community Library

During this three-part, seminar-style class, we will embrace the day as Ernest Hemingway did when he was in the Wood River Valley in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Join Sun Valley Community School English teacher Phil Huss and local author of Hemingway’s Sun Valley in a course that combines seminar discussions on Hemingway’s radical, innovative short story collection In Our Time and excursions to canoe Silver Creek and visit local Hemingway sites to learn about the local stories that connect Hemingway to the Wood River Valley and his fiction. Writing opportunities involve imitation of a Hemingway short story in microfiction that connects a local story and a Hemingway character, and nonfiction personal essays that manifest a principle of the Hemingway Code. No prior knowledge of Hemingway’s life or texts needed. Just a curious mind. Space is limited for this three-part class series and registration is reserved for participants who can attend all three sessions on August 3, 10 and 17.
