Literature, lectures, art, discussions, food, and fellowship
Join us September 5-7, 2024, to delve into Hemingway’s 1937 novel, To Have and Have Not. The story follows fishing boat captain Harry Morgan between Depression-era Key West and Cuba as he turns to running contraband in order to make ends meet. Over three days we’ll explore the novel’s social and political contexts, its creation and critical reception, and the art it inspired.
Speakers include, Dr. Kirk Curnutt, author of Reading Hemingway’s To Have and Have Not (Kent State University Press, 2017), Florida Keys historian Brad Bertelli, a Boise State University panel with Dr. Clyde Moneyhun and Dr. Stacey Guill, Rob Wilson, and more to be announced.
The seminar will open on Thursday, September 5 with an evening reception at 5:00 p.m. and keynote presentation from 6:00-7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, September 6-7, we’ll hear from speakers and enjoy films and breakout discussions from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. each day. A full schedule of events will be available this summer. Registration for in-person attendance at the full seminar is $95, and registration for virtual-only attendance is $30.
Registration opens Wednesday, May 1, 2024.
