Gregory Hancock Hemingway (November 12, 1931 – October 1, 2001), also known as Gloria Hemingway in later life, was the third and youngest child of author Ernest Hemingway. He became a physician and authored a memoir of life with Ernest Hemingway. ==Early life== Gregory Hancock Hemingway was born in Kansas City, Missouri, on November 12, 1931, to novelist Ernest Hemingway and his second wife Pauline Pfeiffer. In childhood, he was called Gigi or Gig and was, according to a close observer, "a tremendous athlete" and a "crack shot."〔〔Valerie Hemingway, 119, 167〕 As an adult he preferred the name Greg.〔Valerie Hemingway, 214〕 Hemingway attended the Canterbury School, a Catholic prep school in Connecticut, graduating in 1949.〔Lou Mandler, "The Hemingways at Canterbury," ''The Hemingway Review'', March 22, 2010〕 He dropped out of St. John's College, Annapolis, after one year〔''Daily Telegraph'': ("Gregory Hemingway," October 5, 2001 ), accessed July 1, 2011〕 and worked for a time as an aircraft mechanic〔''The Independent'': ("Gregory Hemingway," October 10, 2001 ), accessed February 8, 2015.〕 before moving to California in 1951. He married against his father's wishes and experimented with drugs, which led to his arrest.〔 The incident prompted his father to lash out viciously at Greg's mother, Pauline, in a bitter phone call. Unknown to anyone, Pauline had a rare tumor of the adrenal gland that can cause a deadly surge of adrenaline in times of stress. Within hours of the phone call with Ernest, she had died of shock on a hospital operating table. Ernest blamed his son for Pauline's death, and Greg, who was deeply disturbed by the accusation, never saw his father alive again.〔 Greg retreated to Africa, where he drank alcohol and shot elephants.〔 He spent the next three years in Africa as an apprentice professional hunter, but failed to obtain a license because of his drinking.〔 He joined and left the U.S. Army in the 1950s, suffered from mental illness, was institutionalized for a time, and received several dozen electric shock treatments.〔 Of another stint shooting elephants he wrote: "I went back to Africa to do more killing. Somehow it was therapeutic."〔 It wasn't until nearly a decade later, in 1960, that he felt strong enough to resume his medical studies and respond to his father's charges. He wrote his father a bitter letter, detailing the medical facts of his mother's death and blaming Ernest for the tragedy. The next year, his father killed himself, and once again Greg wrestled with guilt over the death of a parent. He obtained a medical degree from the University of Miami Medical School〔''New York Times'': (Thomas J. Lueck, "Gregory H. Hemingway, 69; Wrote a Memoir Called 'Papa'," October 5, 2001 ), accessed June 27, 2011〕〔Hemingway was in medical school at the time of his father's death in 1961. ''New York Times'': ("Hemingway Dead of Shotgun Wound," July 3, 1961 ), accessed June 27, 2011〕 in 1964.〔''Chicago Tribune'': (Nara Schoenberg, "The Son Also Falls," November 19, 2001 ), accessed June 27, 2011〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gregory Hemingway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
