On Thursday, October 25 at 2 p.m., Dr. Adam Long, the director of the Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum, will speak at the Library. Long’s scholarship focuses on the changing South at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Though Ernest Hemingway is not from the South, he visited and wrote in Arkansas regularly and the prominent Pfeiffer family of Piggott was one of his greatest influences. Through this Arkansas connection, Long explores the ways in which the Arkansas Delta (and the South more generally) was connected to a rapidly changing world in the 1920s and 1930s.
The Library also has the Pfeiffer Family exhibit on display through Thursday, Oct. 25.
