Pure gold, HJ. You don't present pen reviews, you present thoughtful feature stories and history. Very nicely done, sir!

@irishaven4632

I like that you added a scientist. It would be interesting if you did an episode focused on scientists. Although, I'm not sure how difficult that would be.

I read an article about Donna Tartt it said, She prefers to write by hand with plain ballpoint pens in large college-ruled, spiral-bound notebooks. She makes her corrections with colored pencil to keep track of revisions.

Graham Greene, one of my favorite writers, used a 1946/47 British-made Parker Duofold NS button-filler in olive green. It was part of his archives at Georgetown University, but apparently stolen. He might have written "The Heart of the Matter" with it. Tony Rex over at "Pens and Sensibility" did an homage to Greene and this pen. I own one as well. The nib has flex. But it is difficult to clean! By today's standards, it feels a bit fragile. Not the pen that I would carry on the many arduous and extensive travels that Greene undertook. He must have brought along a bottle or two of ink and not worried too much about cleaning the pen or babying it--he just wrote! 500 words a day, no matter what. UPDATE: an old post on Fountain Pen Network by GRR says the pen was found at Georgetown; GRR was allowed to handle it and determined the model type to be as above, the Parker Duofold NS, probably a medium, though the 14K nib was unmarked. GRR could not find any hint of the color ink Graham Greene might have used and assumed that the ink sack had long ago rotted.

In addition - new members to the Royal Society of Literature are inducted by signing their name onto the membership scroll. They use famous author's writing implements. They can choose from George Eliot’s, Lord Byron’s or Jean Rhys’ pens; Andrea Levy’s, Arnold Wesker’s or T.S. Eliot’s fountain pens; or Charles Dickens’ quill.

@frankv7068

Can you cover fountain pen sizes please? I’m 6’3 with big hands, I find myself not able to enjoy smaller pens sometimes, does it look odd a big guy with a small pen? lol silly question but I’m serious! I just ordered a Visconti Van Gogh Starry Night, I’m worried if it’s too small, btw I cap all my writing instruments.

@marialuisagarabelli9235

I love vintage Sheaffer fountain pens.

Too bad that the actual fountain pen used by some writers are not known.

@sruckel

Wow, just WOW! HJ, your literary style, storytelling, and editing of this piece was spectacular. The timing of the music to the rocket launch was impeccable. Bravo

@phazer_6469

To lean in, if you take 300 USD and adjust it for inflation to the time the book was written, 300 dollars is about 670-700 in modern buying power (giving a gap for when she started to write the book) which makes it more likely to have been the 146 rather than 149, The Secret History really is an interesting book tho, I listened to the audio book narrated by Donna Tart herself that's available in full on youtube and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed each minute of those 10 hours I spent listening to it.

@scribe_samples2309

History lesson, book review, author profile, always fountain pen info and so much more. Bravo, bravo, outstanding content and presentation! Thank you.

@likelyrain

One of the greatest compliments ever showered on me by my wife is that 'Oh, you do talk and behave like this guy, Hemingway.'

@Lightwriter1

I hope this one gets a follow-up. Just brilliant!

@dailycharmaddict

Great job, Hemingway. Excellent content, engaging presentation, and stellar editing make up this wonderfully produced film! I’m envious of the cup of MBs but yay, Donna T! Love it! You were right, this was one of your best. The transitions and supplementary footage were very well done!

@user-qj4dx4fc3n

Also: the great Spanish poet Luis Cernuda used a Sheaffer "Crest" pen (probably not too unlike Sylvia Plath's). There exists a photo of this exact pen, along with his favorite pipe and watch (a chronograph, but the brand is not visible), yet I could not find it online.

@ZiaLinkZen

Fantastic, BRAVO! When you mentioned your latest authors/FP video I watched the one with Neil Gaiman, a fave and loved it, but THIS ONE is truly NEXT LEVEL! Kerouac footage! Plath and now I also know about Donna Tart... a mini documentary for sure. Was trying to add a Super Thanks and think I sent, but lost my text, so rewriting this. Apologies if it posts twice. Your efforts are noticed and greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

@Alliejay-C

What a wonderful film! I love that you included more women this time and Dr. Tyson.

@davidparrishproductions5082

Being that I love literally everything you do (including your guitar and watch and coffee videos ) I’d totally be game to watching you cook something cultured that you enjoy…. Proper scones with clotted cream and lemon curd or jam? Ah! high tea with Hemingway jones!!! That could be really awesome!

@normanhaase9400

A really wonderful video creation Hemingway. You are rightly proud, as mentioned in your live broadcast. Congratulations! 🎉

@matthewross1756

When you first mentioned Donna Tartt and the Secret History in a previous video I picked up the book and could not put it down. I am not an avid reader, but it was a gripping story. Thank you for the recommendation. I highly recommend it…..
