 On
July 20, a white-bearded man from Florida
won an Ernest Hemingway look-alike contest. The contest was
held in Florida to honor the great American
novelist. He wrote so many
great books including For Whom the Bell
Tolls 누구를 위하여 종은 울리나 and The Snows of Kilimanjaro킬리만자로의 눈.
 But
Hemingway is best known for his last book The Old Man and the Sea노인과
바다 (1952). He received the Nobel Prize in Literature
with the book. Hemingway passed away in 1961. Had he lived, he would
have turned 109 on July 21.
People in Florida celebrate Hemingway Days
once a year for 5 days. The Ernest Hemingway look-alike contest was
one of the Hemingway Days events. There was also a short story writing competition. It was directed
by Hemingway’s granddaughter Lorian Hemingway.
Surprisingly, the 69-year-old
man in the picture, Tom Grizzard, looks exactly like Hemingway! There
were 141 other participants in the contest.
But Tom beat everyone and won the
contest! Congratulations, Mr. Grizzard!
Hemingway would have been very surprised to see you! |
