ALTERNATE ENDINGS TO HEMINGWAY'S A FAREWELL TO ARMS?

Yep.

Dear Reader,

I, for one, cannot wait to read these.  Apparently there were more alternate (re: re-written) endings to A Farewell To Arms than Hemingway admitted to.  My favorite little poke in this article is:

"Hemingway wrote to his lawyer  in 1943 that the Great Gatsby author (F. Scott Fitzgerald)  “suggested I change ending to his idiotic idea and I refused.”


Idiotic idea!  HA!

Also, here's a link to an interview Papa did in 1958 for the Paris Review:  It's classic.  Read it.  You'll be glad you did.
