He moved to Chicago, where he met Hadley Richardson, who became his first wife. After the end of the First World War, Hemingway took a job as a reporter for the Toronto Star Weekly. While in the hospital, he met “Chink” Dorman-Smith, whom he describes in A Moveable Feast as his best friend.
While in Europe, Hemingway witnessed a munitions factory explosion and was himself badly wounded by shrapnel, experiences that traumatized the 18-year-old.
After graduating from high school, Hemingway spent six months working as a reporter for The Kansas City Star before signing up to be a volunteer ambulance driver in Italy in 1918. Hemingway’s passion for literature was already evident in high school, where he loved English and wrote for the school newspaper. His father was a doctor with a passion for the outdoors, and his mother was an amateur musician who encouraged her son to learn to play the cello. Ernest Hemingway was born into a well-educated, creative family in Oak Park, a conservative suburb of Chicago.
