March Luncheon Meeting

Set aside time to join us at the March IPCC Luncheon meeting!

Date: Thursday, March 15, 2012 12:00 noon

Speaker: Redd Griffin, founding member Ernest Hemingway Foundation

Redd Griffin will explore how what Ernest Hemingway learned in the American heartland helped him write enduring literature for the world. While many influences of the Midwest affected Hemingway’s writing, he paid special tribute to his early work in journalism, which began at Oak Park and River Forest High School and continued at the Kansas City Star. Griffin’s program shows how through half a century on four continents Hemingway’s heartland writing led to writing for “the land of the heart.”
