Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American writer and journalist. Hemingway’s distinctive writing style characterized by brevity and understatement had an enormous influence on 20th-century fiction, as did his apparent life of adventure and the public image he cultivated. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, culminating in his 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature. Hemingway’s protagonists are typically stoic men who exhibit an ideal described as “grace under pressure”; many of his works are considered classics of American literature.

When I think of mormons adopting Hemingway, I’m reminded of the joke about “Famous Jewish Sports Legends”, which turns out to be a thin pamphlet. But in this instance, I think of great mormon writers. Before Stephanie Meyers came along, mormons only had Orson Scott Card to brag about, so it seems that in the 90s they baptized Hemingway so they would at least have one great writer in the millennium.
