The Hemingway Hoax

Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

The Hemingway Hoax is a 1990 short novel by the American science fiction writer Joe Haldeman. It weaves together a story of an attempt to produce a fake Ernest Hemingway manuscript with themes concerning time travel and parallel worlds. A shorter version of the book won both a Hugo Award and a Nebula Award for Best Novella in 1991 (for stories in 1990). The shorter version, a condensation of the novel, was originally published in the April 1990 issue of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. The author wrote: "I've been a student of Hemingway's writing and life for about twenty-five years; sooner or later I had to mine the old man for material." A literary scholar decides to create a forged copy of Hemingway's missing first novel. He unwittingly interferes with a destined nuclear war which was influenced by Hemingway's stories. The scholar consequently experiences multiple deaths as he keeps shifting between parallel timelines.
