19b. Bonus: Simone de Rochefort on Ernest Hemingway.
For me, in coming to Hemingway in the 2010s as a queer woman, to start
reading the work of this man who can be incredibly polarizing and incredibly
cruel to women and queer people (although that’s very complicated…)—for me,
having the context of who he was and the dramatic backstory behind [The Sun
Also Rises] made me able to deal with the ugly parts of it a little more.
Simone de Rochefort is a Senior Video
Producer at Polygon, where she co-hosts the
podcast The Polygon Show. She’s also one of the hosts of the tech podcast
Rocket on Relay FM, which recently celebrated
its 250th episode. And, luckily for us, she is also a passionate amateur
Hemingway enthusiast. We were excited to bring her on the show to talk about
how and why she fell in love with Hemingway, how she navigates his more
problematic aspects, and how to reclaim Hemingway for women and queers.
