I found a great resource from PBS on Hemingway and the Lost Generation… we should consider using some of this stuff at the Hemingway station when students are considering their Author Study options next week. And/or we can use it at some point during the term when they’re conducting their research.

Here’s a great quote from Gertrude Stein on the Lost Generation:
“Every man becomes civilized between the ages of 18 and 25. If he does not go through a civilizing experience at that time of his life, he will not become a civilized man. The men who went to war at 18 missed the civilizing. All you young people who served in the war are a lost generation. You have no respect for anything.”
-Gertrude Stein
Hemingway is over at ESA. We’ll try again next semester.
