Description

The hero of Papa's Suitcase, "Hemingstein," is a gentle young man who has a great love for books and the stories they contain. His favorite stories are those written by his hero and namesake, Ernest Hemingway, "Papa." After reading and re-reading all of Hemingway's works, Hemingstein's insatiable desire for stories by the great author is stronger than ever. In search of more material, he embarks on a quixotic trip for a long lost suitcase full of original Hemingway manuscripts that Hemingway's first wife, Hadley, had lost while boarding a train in Paris in 1922. Hemingstein's quest brings him around the world, from Mt. Kilimanjaro to Key West to the dusty Parisian salon of Marlene Dietrich.
