he Gradual Corruption of America's Literary Genius The Town that Haunted Hemingway is a biographical non-fiction depicting Ernest Hemingway's early years spent in Northern Michigan, his early poetry, and his spiritual childhood upbringing. Hemingway's love of the Petoskey summers, forests, and fishing streams slipped into all his later writings, especially the popular Nick Adams stories, and The Torrents of Spring. However, his early infatuation with a young Native American girl, Prudence Boulton, as well as his mother's neglectful family dynamics set the stage for three failed marriages later in life. His failure to honor God for his illustrious writing career lead to feelings of unfulfillment and guilt, and ultimately, his own suicide. After exhausting research, this expose of previously unheard of content is now available to the literary world, regarding Hemingway's formative years that set the tone for his later writing style, spirituality, and life. The addition of David Wyant's own Northern Michigan poetry, in the style of Ernest Hemingway and inspired by the same scenery with which he grew up, and exalting God, gives us a glimpse of a life revisited in a body of work done "properly", the way Ernest would have wanted it, had he been loyal to the Lord of his youth.
