Those darn Hemingways! Is there anything they can’t do?


When we hear the name Hemingway, most people naturally think of Ernest Hemingway, the celebrated American novelist. And rightly so, for these people, Lincoln College of Technology has several of Hemingway’s books available:

The Old Man and the Sea

A Farewell to Arms

For Whom the Bell Tolls

A Moveable Feast


But this is just the beginning! There are, of course, many of his relatives who also have the last name Hemingway, and for the most part, they are glad if you think of their famous ancestor first. In fact, their various book deals depend on the link to the best-known Hemingway:


How it Was by Mary Welsh Hemingway


This autobiographical book by Hemingway’s fourth wife discusses life with Ernest Hemingway.


Finding My Balance by Mariel Hemingway


This memoir by Ernest Hemingway’s granddaughter tells the story of her self-discovery through yoga.


A World Turned Over by Lorian Hemingway


Lorian Hemingway’s non-fiction book tells the story of a tornado that devastated her hometown in Mississippi.
