    Any chance that "Professor" was DAWN POWELL?
    He made her quite famous by naming her as his "favorite writer."

    Guilty as charged BUT Hemingway's exact words about Powell
    were "My favorite living writer."

    I am equally guilty as the defender of the most
    important writer of Hemingway's career:
    F. Scott Fitzgerald

    Without FSF, The Sun Also Rises
    would never have made it past the third printing.

    Happy Googling to one and all
