in our time, chapter 6: "They shot the six cabinet ministers"
Manage episode 413193315 series 2801603
Welcome to the sixth of our eighteen shows celebrating the centenary of the Paris edition of Hemingway’s book of vignettes, in our time.
The scene depicts the execution of six Greek officials toward the end of 1922. In this episode, we discuss the history of that trial and execution, the journalistic coverage of events, and Hemingway's fictional treatment of the execution. We also relate this vignette to other works, such as A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and even Tintoretto's Crucifixion. We also continue examining how the first third of the book starts cohering into a larger project.
Join us as we explore in our time before it became In Our Time!
