Ernest Miller Hemingway´s (1899 – 1961) all his friends were worried: he, an American author and journalist, had changed; he was depressed; he wouldn’t hunt; he looked bad.Why?
Some friend is telling about Him by The New York Times.
There were many differing explanations at the time: that he had terminal cancer or money problems, that it was an accident, that he’d quarreled with Mary. None were true. As his friends knew, he’d been suffering from depression and paranoia for the last year of his life.Decades later, in response to a Freedom of Information petition, the F.B.I. released its Hemingway file. It revealed that beginning in the 1940s J. Edgar Hoover had placed Ernest under surveillance because he was suspicious of Ernest’s activities in Cuba. Over the following years, agents filed reports on him and tapped his phones. The surveillance continued all through his confinement at St. Mary’s Hospital.
In the years since, I have tried to reconcile Ernest’s fear of the F.B.I., which I regretfully misjudged, with the reality of the F.B.I. file. I now believe he truly sensed the surveillance, and that it substantially contributed to his anguish and his suicide.Above: Havana, Aug 3 writer Ernest Hemingway left Cuba suddenly in July, 1960, forced by the US ambassador, says Cuban expert in the US literature bronze god's work.
