Storytelling@Hemingways: Dear John
7:00 - 9:00 PM
F@H's features the Hemingway Birthplace as a backdrop for an evening of storytelling. The crown jewel within the Hemingway Archives collection is the letter Ernest Hemingway received from his nurse, Agnes von Kurowsky, upon his return to Oak Park in 1919 after serving in the American Red Cross during World War I. This famed “Dear John” shaped Hemingway and literary history.
Join Chicago-area storytellers for an evening of “Dear John” tales in the front parlor room of Hemingway’s birthplace home.
