I like his house in Key West, Fl and the polydactal cats...........b/c after so much inbreeding, each cat has like 9 toes on each foot...........strange...........Hemingway particularly like northern Michigan to write..............



Shortly after the publication of The Old Man and the Sea (1952), Hemingway went on safari to Africa, where he was almost killed in two successive plane crashes that left him in pain or ill health for much of his remaining lifetime. Hemingway maintained permanent residences in Key West, Florida, (1930s) and Cuba (1940s and 1950s), and in 1959, he bought a house in Ketchum, Idaho, where he committed suicide in the summer of 1961.
