Ernest Hemingway and Edgar Allen Poe
Tonight on my list of authors is Ernest Hemingway and Edgar Allen Poe.
I'll begin with Hemingway. He knew from a young age that he wanted to be a writer. He started working on his high school newspaper. Being denied by his father to join the army during the first World War, he became a journalist for Kansas City Star. He wrote many things and is very well known. However, he never seemed to find contentment.
Speaking of the discontented, Edgar Allen Poe. He's as much a mystery today as when he was alive. Many scholars disagree to what his life was really like. He started writing poetry, but his first book of poems was never published. We still quote his poetry today. He's still extremely well-known.
What's very sad about both of these extremely talented men is that they both were so unsatisfied with their life. There is a certain morbid theme here. It is completely by accident. However, the three authors that are no longer alive, all have adnormal deaths. Stay tune next time for Gaston Leroux and Stephen King.
