Why Ernest Hemingway had a problem with Toronto

Did you know that Ernest Hemingway wrote for the Toronto Star? The iconic cigar-smoking, bull-fighting American writer spent two separate stints living in Canada. It was partly while living and working in Toronto that he developed his stripped-down, sparse writing style. Author and Hemingway expert Terry Fallis reflects on the writer's larger than life reputation and his time spent in Toronto ahead of the upcoming International Hemingway Society Conference. Plus, CBC producer Christine Pagulayan talks about the latest trend to hit the world of romance. 

Books discussed on this week's show include:

A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway

The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

The Stand-In by Lily Chu

The Marionette by Terry Fallis
