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:

    It’s enough for you to do it once for a few men to remember you. But if you do it year after year, then many people remember you and they tell it to their children, and their children and grandchildren remember and, if it concerns books, they can read them. And if it’s good enough, it will last as long as there are human beings.
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    All my life I’ve looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
