The fractious friendship of Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald continues to fascinate. More importantly, their highly distinctive styles are still influencing American fiction 100 years after the publication of their first books. This class will closely examine one short story from each writer and glean lessons on what to do — and maybe not do — in our own writing.
