STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

Ernest Hemingway wrote and revised his iconic memoir “A Moveable Feast” at his home in Ketchum. And the book was published three years after his death in 1961.

That book will be the subject of the 2025 Ernest Hemingway Seminar, which will be held Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 4-6, at The Community Library in Ketchum.

During that time attendees will explore the posthumously published Paris sketches about Hemingway’s time in Paris in the 1920, also known as “those hungry days.”

They will examine the atmosphere during which he developed his craft and James Joyce, F. Scott Fitzgerald and other characters of The Lost Generation brought to life as he later recalled his memories from that time. And they will examine the context within which he worked on the essays.

The seminar will open with a reception at 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 4. Sean Hemingway, editor of “A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition,” will deliver the opening keynote lecture at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 4.

Boise State University’s Stacey Guill, one of the speakers will discuss Sylvia Beach, Hadley Richardson and Gertrude Stein in a presentation titled “Hemingway’s Three Muses in a Moveable Feast.” Clyde Moneyhun, her colleague at BSU, will offer a presentation titled “A Moveable Feast as Travel Writing.”

The seminar will end with a closing reception from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

Cost is $95 for those attending in person; cost to watch the seminar online is $30. Register to attend in person at https://thecommunitylibrary.libcal.com/event/13151885. Register to attend virtually at https://thecommunitylibrary.libcal.com/event/14400321.
