Hemingway vs Callaghan
Aired March 30,2003 8:00pm and March 31,2003 8:00pm on CBC Television
Hemingway vs. Callaghan chronicles the friendship between writers Ernest Hemingway and
Morley Callaghan, from their first meeting in the early 1920s at the Toronto
Star, to their days as part of Paris' fabled Lost Generation.
When
they first met in the Star's newsroom, Hemingway was a war reporter with
a grand vision of life, while Torontonian Callaghan yearned to write novels.
Their interest in writing and sports sealed a friendship that endured until it
came to an abrupt end in Paris in 1929.
The mini-series is a journey to
the past that relives their friendship. It portrays the mad exhilaration of
their years in Paris surrounded by great artists and writers, and the excitement
of shared literary struggles, romantic entanglements and an ill-fated passion
for boxing.
