The Hemingway Hoax
by Joe Haldeman
Literature professor John Baird and conman Sylvester Castlemaine hatch a plan to get rich
forging Hemingway’s lost stories, but before long, Baird is
confronted by an apparent guardian of the many timelines in the
form of Hemingway himself.
— Michael Main
I’m from the future and the past and other temporalities that you can’t comprehend.
But all you need to know is that yiou must not write this Hemingway story. If you do, I
or someone like me will have to kill you.
