WAKEFIELD — Wakefield writer/photographer Robert Pushkar interviewed Patrick Hemingway at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston on Sunday.

Hemingway is the surviving son of legendary author Ernest Hemingway and was here to present the PEN/Hemingway Award to three first-time published novelists.

Hemingway lives in Bozeman, Montana and holds a degree from Harvard University. He formerly lived in East Africa where he operated a safari business for 25 years and later was appointed by the United Nations to the Wildlife Management College in Tanzania, teaching conservation and wildlife studies.

Along with Hemingway, Pushkar is a founding member of The Hemingway Society, established in 1980 in Boston at the opening of the Hemingway Room at the Library, which houses a vast archive of the author’s papers, correspondence, and photographs.

Pushkar is writing a stage drama about Ernest Hemingway.
