KU Common Book is a campus-wide initiative to engage first-year students. A key component of Bold Aspirations, the KU strategic plan, is investing in first-year intellectual experiences. As part of this emphasis, KU Common Book will generate opportunities for shared intellectual experiences that invite analysis, foster critical thinking, and reflect the type of reasoned discourse expected at a university.
First-year students receive the common book at Orientation and are encouraged to read and discuss the book at activities and programs throughout the year. The Common Book was selected by a committee comprised of faculty, staff, and students from nominations generated by the KU campus. Although the program focuses on freshmen and transfer students, the steering committee invites participation from all students, as well as faculty and staff who wish to include the book in their classes and programs.
In this enchanting memoir, acclaimed author and Paris resident John Baxter recounts his year-long experience of giving “literary walking tours” through the city. Baxter sets off on the trail of Paris’s legendary artists and writers. Along the way, he tells the city’s history through a brilliant cast of characters: the favourite cafés of Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and James Joyce; Pablo Picasso’s underground Montmartre haunts; the bustling boulevards of the late-19th century flâneurs; the secluded “Little Luxembourg” gardens beloved by Gertrude Stein; the alleys where revolutionaries plotted; and finally Baxter’s own favourite walk near his home in Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
Paris, by custom and design, is a pedestrian’s city – each block a revelation, every neighbourhood a new feast for the senses, a place rich with history and romance at every turn. The Most Beautiful Walk in the World is your guide par excellence to the true, off-the-beaten-track heart of the City of Lights.

Courtesy of a mutated predecessor, quite a few of Hemingway's cats are polydactyl (many-toed). The original cat was a gift to Hemingway from a friend of his - she bred, and those litters bred. The Hemingway house aims to hold about sixty, with the numbers controlled through spaying.
Not really obvious here, but this cat was busy playing with a lizard.
The house was built by Asa Tift, a marine architect (and Confederate mariner), in 1851. In 1931 Hemingway purchased it and lived here with his second wife, Pauline, and their two sons until 1939.
Here, Hemingway completed the final draft of "A Farewell to Arms," as well as "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber".

Yesterday, 30 July 2015, a buddy and I took a day trip, which turned out to be in excess of 350 miles (563 km). So, here are a few pics from that day trip, all shot with the Fuji X20.
Ernest Hemingway:
One morning in April, 1961, following electro-shock treatments at the Mayo Clinic, and back in Ketchum, Idaho, Mary (Hemingway’s fourth wife), "found Hemingway holding a shotgun". She called a local Ketchum physician, Dr. George Saviers, a long time personal friend, who sedated him and admitted him to the Sun Valley hospital; from there Hemingway was returned to the Mayo Clinic for more electro-shock treatments.
Hemingway was released in late June and arrived back home in Ketchum on June 30. Two days later, in the early morning hours of July 2, 1961, Hemingway "quite deliberately" shot himself with his favorite shotgun. He unlocked the basement storeroom where his guns were kept, went upstairs to the front entrance foyer of their Ketchum home, and with the "double-barreled shotgun that he had used so often it might have been a friend", he shot himself.
Mary called the Sun Valley Hospital, and a doctor quickly arrived at the house. Despite his finding that Hemingway "had died of a self-inflicted wound to the head", the story told to the press was that the death had been "accidental".

The original premises of Shakespeare and Company. Well, the second one. But it was here that Hemingway smashed a vase after reading a particularly bad review, here also that Joyce published Ulysses, and here that Henry Miller borrowed books he never returned.
“Shakespeare and Company is the name of two independent English-language bookstores that have existed on Paris's Left Bank.
“The first was opened by Sylvia Beach, an American, on 19 November 1919, at 8 rue Dupuytren, before moving to larger premises at 12 rue de l'Odéon in the 6th arrondissement in 1922. During the 1920s, Beach's shop was a gathering place for many then-aspiring writers such as Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway, Djuna Barnes, James Joyce and Ford Madox Ford. It closed in 1941 during the German occupation of Paris and never re-opened.”

Le Dernier Embrasse by Tennessee Williams
Williams grappled with his sexuality and did not announce he was gay man until later in life. His inner struggle manifested itself on the canvas, creating a number of paintings with sexual and erotic overtones. Here, the radiating lines behind the lovers symbolize constraining forces beyond their control, including adherence to social norms.
