We welcome back Suzanne del Gizzo to ring in the season with a discussion of \\u201cThe Christmas Gift,\\u201d Hemingway\\u2019s account of his 1954 plane crashes in East Africa.

Del Gizzo, editor of The Hemingway Review and widely published scholar, guides us through this extraordinary piece originally written for Look magazine, its role in Hemingway\\u2019s self-mythologizing, its examination of his near-death experience, its representation of Mary, and how the article both reveals and obscures what actually happened.\\xa0

It has been a triumphant 2022 for One True Podcast, so we hope you\\u2019ll enjoy unwrapping this gift of an episode. Thank you for listening and supporting the show.
