- Title
Hemingway's Lost Friend: Norton S. Baskin.
- Authors
Tarr, Rodger L.
- Abstract
The friendship of Ernest Hemingway and Norton S. Baskin has until now escaped notice. Baskin once owned the posh Castle Warden Hotel in St. Augustine, Florida, and later managed the Dolphin Restaurant and Bar at the famed tourist attraction Marineland. Hemingway and Baskin became friends after first meeting in 1940, and on a number of occasions Hemingway visited with Baskin on his way north. Baskin described one such visit in a letter, dated 24 September 1947, to his wife, the Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, who also knew and admired Hemingway. The letter displays the respect Baskin felt for Hemingway and provides some valuable information about Hemingway's life in Cuba during this period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR].
