other occasions Hemingway
never suggested by word or
action that he disagreed with
the Nobel Prize elections.
Prize q Surprise
It is entirely probable that
he never expected to win one.
To some of us, it seemed that
his great writing talent had
become obscured by the lusty
legends that had grown up
around him. Most of the leg
ends came out of New York's
supper clubs and bars. They
seemed to diminish his stature
as a literary giant.
But Hemingway's soiourns in
New York's supper clubs were
only diversionary excursions.
For him these were no more
than pauses in an extraordi-
narily active life. For 80 years,
publishers have printed his
stories and articles.
His self discipline has been
something to marvel at. Broad
way didn't stand a chance of
conquering him. He vacationed
on it and then, satiated, went
back to his typewriter.
Even in this final victory, the
ng-delayed award of the
Nobel Prize, his grace was ex-.
pressed in an interview with
Harvey Brett.

"As a Nobel Prize winner"
said Hemingway, II can not
but regret that the award was
never given to Mark Twain,

only of my own countrymen.

did not receive the prize. I
would have been happier today
if the prize had gone to that
beautiful writer, Isak Dinesen,
who has devoted a lifetime to
the best writing on painting
that has been produced. And I
would have been most happy to
know that the prize had been
awarded to Carl Sandberg."
