The Lost Suitcase
b'
For our 100th episode, One True Podcast investigates the legend of the lost manuscripts!\\xa0
In December 1922, Hemingway\\u2019s first wife Hadley, misplaced a suitcase filled with the young Hemingway\\u2019s unpublished writing. Since then, this episode has invited intense speculation: Was this early work stolen? Did it end up in the garbage? Did Hadley subconsciously want the work to be stolen?
In order to explore the unknowable, we turn to four novelists who each use this mysterious episode as the inspiration for a novel. Join us as Sherry Harris (The Gun Also Rises, 2019), David Berens (The Hemingway Code, 2022), Diane Gilbert Madsen (Hunting for Hemingway, 2010), and Dennis McDougal (Hemingway\\u2019s Suitcase, 2017) talk about how the manuscripts inspired their own fiction, what they think happened to the suitcase, how Hadley might have felt, and the challenge of writing about Hemingway.\\xa0
We also discuss one of our \\u201cone true sentences\\u201d that describes how Hemingway felt \\u201cin the night\\u201d after confirming that all of his work was gone.\\xa0
Enjoy this episode and all of its speculation! And thank you for supporting One True Podcast over the first one hundred episodes!\\xa0
