New Ernest Hemingway Story in The Strand Magazine

After the war...

Ernest Hemingway in Paris, 1956.

On Aug. 14, 1956, Ernest Hemingway wrote to publisher Charlie Scribner about five short stories he had written: "I suppose they are a little shocking since they deal with irregular troops and combat and with people who actually kill people.  Anyway you can always publish them after I'm dead," Alison Thoet reports on pbs.org.

More than six decades later, fans can finally read one of the long-unpublished stories, Thoet wrote.

"A Room on the Garden Side" centers on a fictionalized version of Hemingway at the Paris Ritz Hotel toward the end of World War II, and is punctuated with books, liquor, soldiers and a love of Paris -- all familiar trademarks, Thoet added.
