The director of the Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum, Dr. Adam Long, will lead a discussion on Ernest Hemingways novel “A Farewell to Arms” Thursday afternoon at 2:00. The discussion will be held at the Donald W. Reynolds Library Serving Baxter County as part of the If All Baxter County Read the Same Book program.Longs discussion will focus on the changing south at the beginning of the 20th Century. Though Hemingway is not from the South, he visited and wrote in Arkansas regularly, and the prominent Pfeiffer family of Piggott was one of his greatest influences. Through this Arkansas connection, Long explores the ways in which the Arkansas Delta, and the south more generally, was connected to a rapidly changing world in the 1920s and 1930s.The If All Baxter County Read the Same Book program is part of the librarys literary series sponsored by the Friends of the Baxter County Library.
