Notably: On Hemingway’s birthday (he was born on this day in 1899), a look back at the front page of the New York Times on July 3, 1961, with an article datelined Ketchum, Idaho, July 2, above the fold (when is the last time a writer’s death commanded any spot above the fold?): “Ernest Hemingway was found dead of a shotgun wound in the head at his home here today. His wife, Mary, said that he had killed himself accidentally while cleaning the weapon.” There never were any accidents in Hemingway’s works. Not one. “The body of the bearded, barrel-chested writer, clad in a robe and pajamas, was found by his wife in the foyer of their modern concrete house. A double-barreled, 12-gauge shotgun lay beside him with one chamber discharged.” Mary was sedated. Hemingway may have had nowhere else to do. Larry McMurtry wrote: “”Many who came to dislike Hemingway forgot how good he was; he may have forgotten it himself, or he may have just been unfortunate, over the long haul, to have perfected a style that had nowhere to take him but into self-parody, which is where, as a writer, he resided for so many sad years.” On the other hand, Hemingway, in A Farewell to Arms, had written: “There isn’t always an explanation for everything.”

Maybe he was choked all the time. Poor little kid. I wished the hell I’d been choked like that. No I didn’t. That was what you did. You died. You did not know what it was about. You never had time to learn. They threw you in and told you the rules and the first time they caught you off base they killed you. Or they killed you gratuitously like Aymo. Or gave you the syphilis like Rinaldi. But they killed you in the end. You could count on that. Stay around and they would kill you.

–From Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms (1929).
