Hemingway's Alternate Endings to 'A Farewell to Arms'

Hemingway's Alternate Endings to 'A Farewell to Arms' Are Now on Display: In 1958, Ernest Hemingway told the Paris Review that he’d written 39 different endings to his classic World War I novel, A Farewell to Arms. As it turns out, the famed writer had either misremembered or was being modest; historians have since determined that he actually wrote 47 endings to the book, eight of which are now on display at a new exhibit about the author at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston.
