: : Why exactly did hemingway go to paris? Did he hate how the American society and economy was becoming and thought that Paris would give him a better place to write and express himself? : Curiously, he and his new wife, Hadley, were saving their : money and converting it to lira for their planned move to : Italy, a place that Hemingway was familiat with during his : short wartime expiriences there. : But while working on a magazine or a newspaper (I : forget which) he met Sherwood Anderson, the author : of Winesberg Ohio and whom Hemingway admired, who told : him that all of the action in terms of the arts was : happening in Paris. It was where TS Eliot and John Dos : Pos and James Joyce and F. Scott Fitzgerald were. And : the Impressionist and Expressionist painters were. It was : were the Dada art movement was just morphing into Cubist : and Surrealism. It was where all of the budding artists, : no matter what their matier was, were congregating. : Anderson offered to write a letter of introduction to : Gertrude Stein who could introduce Hemingway to other : people who could help his career. So they changed their : minds and the rest, as they say, is history. : hth : Pjk
