UNPUBLISHED HEMINGWAY WAR STORY TO SEE PRINT IN LITERARY JOURNAL

NEW YORK— An unpublished story by Ernest Hemingway will finally see print this week, 62 years after it was written in 1956.

The story, little known beyond the scholarly community for decades, is titled “A Room on the Garden Side” and will appear this week in the literary quarterly The Strand Magazine.

War theme

“Hemingway’s deep love for his favorite city as it is just emerging fromNazi occupation is on full display, as are the hallmarks of his prose,” Strand managing editor Andrew F. Gulli wrote in an editorial note.

“A Room on the Garden Side” takes place at the Ritz hotel and is narrated by a Hemingway standin called Robert who shares the author’s own nickname — Papa.

Hemingway left numerous works unpublished at the time of his suicide, in 1961. “A Moveable Feast,” his celebrated memoir on Paris in the 1920s, came out three years after his death.

Other works

Other posthumous Hemingway books include the novels “The Garden of Eden,” “Islands in the Stream” and “The Dangerous Summer,” a nonfiction account of bullfighting.

Hemingway wrote other World War II stories over the last decade of his life.

In August 1956, he told publisher Charles Scribner Jr. he had completed five, but only “A Room on the Garden Side” was published.
