Influence
Ernest Hemingway was surrounded with colleagues and good friends during his time in Paris. He was a part of the movement that was influencing and redefining art of all types. Together, they started small literary magazines, looked for benefactors, and supported one another. In post-World War I Europe, the artists who flocked to Paris shared a simple purpose: to create new work in all genres that would serve to break the constraints of previous form, tradition, and content. Together, they planted their vision firmly and securely into the foundation that would light the Modernist Movement. Later in his life, and throughout his memoir, Hemingway would look back on those Paris years of the 1920s, and reflect upon the many influences that contributed to his rich experience there.
Hemingway believed that seven-eighths of a story should remain hidden beneath the surface. He referred to this as the Iceberg Theory. The emotional strength of any story should be felt and not necessarily seen. The Closerie Lilas, the café where Hemingway sometimes worked, was by location and appearance the tip of the iceberg that comprised the Left Bank of Paris. From a higher perspective, one can see the Boulevard Montparnasse reaching down to the Rue de Vaugirard, over to the Boulevard Saint-Michel, and eventually returning to the tip of the iceberg—the Lilas. This theory is much more than just metaphor. It is a symbol of the Paris Hemingway occupied, and it is symbolic of those artists who encompassed the Modernist spirit and that worked and lived on the Left Bank. All who influenced Hemingway are considered to be the foundation of his literary iceberg.
