Hemingway will always have a place in my heart for his Michigan connections -- for an anniversary my husband planned a Hemingway-themed road trip to Petoskey that was pretty awesome and only reinforced everything I already loved about the man. If you want to actually read his writing about northern Michigan, check out the Nick Adams stories, but my personal favorite have nothing to do with Michigan and everything to do with fishing, bulls, drinking, and wasting time in Europe. The Sun Also Rises is about...young adults who drink and fish and waste time in Europe...I don't know that it requires more explanation than that. They watch some bull fights. Some people have love affairs. I think espadrilles are worn. If that isn't enough of an incentive then I'm not sure why you read this blog?
