The speaker says: Ernest
Hemingway ... was badly wounded, hospitalized, and fell in love with a nurse.
He wrote a novel about a man who was badly wounded in the First World War, was
hospitalised and who fell in love with a nurse. The Spanish Civil War and the
Second World War followed as did books about his experiences in them. Now, how
much can we draw on a writer's biography to explain his work? It should, I
believe, be irrelevant to the judgement you bring to the merits of the
individual work.
