Abstract
On Sunday night, 29 April 1962, President John F. Kennedy hosted a remarkable White House evening for a crowd of luminaries featuring forty-nine Nobel Prize winners from the Western Hemisphere. After remarks by the President and a dinner of beef Wellington, veteran actor Fredric March honored deceased Nobel Prize winners by reading excerpts of their work, including—at the suggestion of Hemingway’s widow Mary—an excerpt from the manuscript that would be published eight years later as Islands in the Stream . The event gave the literary world perhaps its first indication of how Hemingway’s unpublished output would be managed.
