Title
The Day Ernest Hemingway Died
Document Type
Essay
Annotation
Examines the details and various accounts of Hemingway's wounding in World War I and the decades-long record of "self-generated falsehoods" about his wartime experiences. Erroneously dates-more than once-the mortar explosion at Fossalta di Piave to July 8, 1917, instead of 1918.
