Hemingway, in his later years, said that he found it very difficult to recall Lady Duff Twysden, though he had known her quite well when he was younger. He said that when he tried to think about her, he ended up remembering Lady Brett Ashley, the character he had based on her in The Sun Also Rises<\/I>.<\/p>\n

My family used to have a summer cottage. We were very fond of it, and we spent a lot of our vacations there when I was growing up. My parents had planned and built it, and everything inside the house, including the plumbing and wiring, was done by members of the family.<\/p>\n

It was sold a long time ago, and I’m not nostalgic about it (and I’m not at all curious about what the current owners may have done to the place). The last couple of times I went to the area, I didn’t go look at the house.<\/p>\n

Part of it is that it’s ancient history at this point, but mostly it’s because I used it as the model for Perry Nelson’s house, as shown in the conclusion<\/A> of A Sane Woman<\/A>, and in the A Visit to Perry<\/A> chapter of the current novel<\/A>.<\/p>\n

When I think of the house, I see it with Perry and the others in residence, and it takes an effort to remember that it was an actual house, where I actually spent a lot of time.<\/p>\n

This is true of some of the characters as well.<\/p>\n

There is more of the current chapter up here<\/A>. We’re very near the end.<\/p>\n
