Suzanne del Gizzo on "A North of Italy Christmas"
Manage episode 391536065 series 2801603
‘Tis the season! And it wouldn’t be the holiday season without welcoming Suzanne del Gizzo to discuss a seasonally appropriate Hemingway work. In this episode, we examine “A North of Italy of Christmas,” a raucous article he wrote for the Toronto Daily Star one hundred years ago.
Del Gizzo – the celebrated editor of The Hemingway Review -- discusses the absurd humor in the piece, all the mistletoe, old favorite Chink Dorman-Smith, and Hemingway’s early writing style. She unpacks the curious title, offers some unexpected background on the origin of the mistletoe tradition, and places the article in its biographical context. We end the interview with del Gizzo’s thoughts on the state of Hemingway studies as 2023 draws to a close.
And as a special treat to our listeners, we begin the episode with a reading of “A North of Italy Christmas” by former guest Mackenzie Astin, star of The Facts of Life, The Magicians, and In Love and War, where he played the young Henry Villard opposite Chris O’Donnell’s Hemingway and Sandra Bullock’s Agnes von Kurowsky.
Thanks for a great 2023, everybody! Enjoy!
