Hemingway Quote

In a letter to Malcolm Cowley in 1945 he wrote:

Do you suffer when you write? I don't at all. Suffer like a bastard when I don't write, or just before, and feel empty and fucked afterwards. But never as good while writing. (From Ernest Hemingway On Writing)

Ernest Hemingway, Paris 1922 -by Man Ray
[i was always puzzled by the “wound”… imagining some risky adventure. Well! Man Ray tells the “adventure” in his book “Self-Portrait”: Hemingway was in the washroom, pulled the cord of the window (mistaking it with the chain of the toilet)… the window broke. Man Ray bandaged and hatted the head and took a picture.]
