“To Have (a Life) and Have Not”

An Earnest Hemmingway festival in Florida reached a climax over the weekend with a look-alike contest of the late author of classics such as A Farewell to Arms, The Snows of Kilimanjaro, and For Whom the Bell Tolls. Public reaction to the event was reminiscent of one the Nobel winner’s own titles: For Whom the Hell Cares?

The stocky, white-bearded Hemmingway doppelganger was thrilled to win first place, and is now looking forward to getting back to his wife, elves and reindeer back at the North Pole.
