A previously unpublished story by Ernest Hemingway will be released in the October issue of Harper鈥檚 Magazine.
The story, titled 鈥淢y Life in the Bull Ring with David Ogden Stewart,鈥� is believed to have been written in 1924 and was found in letters of Stewart鈥檚. The text is reportedly based on a bull fight in which Stewart participated.
Apparently Stewart wasn鈥檛 impressed by the story at first 鈥� according to NPR, he wrote in his autobiography, 鈥淲hen [Hemingway] had sent me a 'funny' piece about myself to submit to Vanity Fair, I had decided that written humor was not his dish and had done nothing about it.鈥� However, one way or another it ended up at Vanity Fair, but the magazine rejected it.
When the magazine heard about the discovered story, staff asked if they could publish 鈥淏ull Ring,鈥� but Hemingway鈥檚 estate went with Harper鈥檚 instead.
Other works by the author published after his death include the novels 鈥淭he Garden of Eden鈥� and 鈥淚slands in the Stream鈥� as well as the work 鈥淭rue at First Light,鈥� which combines fiction with elements of memoir.
Hemingway won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 for his novel 鈥淭he Old Man and the Sea鈥� and secured the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. He is also remembered for his works 鈥淔or Whom the Bell Tolls,鈥� 鈥淭he Sun Also Rises,鈥� which was his first novel, and 鈥淎 Farewell to Arms.鈥�
