Idaho Experience

Idaho's Hemingway Special

Season 4 Episode 5 | 39m 20s | WETA Passport

Many Idahoans are familiar with the general outlines of Ernest Hemingway’s Idaho story: the celebrities, the Sun Valley Resort, his death by suicide at home along the Big Wood River. What is less known is how his time in Idaho influenced the writer’s life, loves and literary output. We explore what Hemingway’s life in Idaho tells us about our state’s cultural landscape.
