Pauline Pfeiffer - Hemingway

Hemingway

In the spring of 1926, Hadley became aware of Hemingway's affair with Pauline, and in July Pauline joined the couple for their annual trip to Pamplona. On their return to Paris, the couple decided to separate; and in November Hadley formally requested a divorce. They were divorced in January 1927.

Hemingway married Pauline in May, and they went to Le Grau-du-Roi to honeymoon. Pauline's family was wealthy and Catholic; before the marriage Hemingway converted to Catholicism. By the end of the year Pauline, who was pregnant, wanted to move back to America. John Dos Passos recommended Key West, and they left Paris in March 1928.

They had two sons Patrick and Gregory. Hemingway went to Spain in 1937 and there began an affair with Martha Gellhorn. He and Pfeiffer were divorced on November 4, 1940, and he married Gellhorn three weeks later.

Famous quotes containing the word hemingway:

    Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl.
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    The parody is the last refuge of the frustrated writer. Parodies are what you write when you are associate editor of the Harvard Lampoon. The greater the work of literature, the easier the parody. The step up from writing parodies is writing on the wall above the urinal.
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
