Larry Austin of Palm Harbor, Florida wins Ernest 'Papa' Hemingway Look-Alike Contest victory

An insurance agentbeat out122 others to win Florida's annual "Papa" Hemingway Look-Alike Contest.

Larry Austin, 64, of Palm Harbor, Florida, won the contest on his 10th try on Saturday night in Key West, Florida'ssouthernmostcity.

But Austin said he hasn't gone fishing, a sport immortalized by Ernest Hemingway, since he found out that "you can't catch flounder."

Wearing olive shorts, a cap and a beige fishing shirt, Austin joked that his own writing does not go beyond forging "signatures on life insurance apps."

The look-alike contest was part of the 27th Hemingway Days festival marking the July 21 birthday of the white-bearded author, born 108 years ago in Illinois.

Hemingway, awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1954, lived and worked in Key West during the 1930s.

Contestant Graham "Butch" Goodfellow, 54, of Australia said Hemingway and the Australians had some crucial things in common.

"We love to fight, we love to drink and we're big hunters," he said.

First-time contestant Phil Blumer, of Shalimar, Florida was chosen one of 25 finalists.

"They tell me no one wins unless they've entered at least five years," the veterinarian said.

In another event, Bruce Overby, 47, of Los Altos, California, won the Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition with "Bookmarks," about a man's slide into alcoholism and redemption.

在佛羅里達(dá)州的年度“誰(shuí)最像海明威?”大賽中,一位保險(xiǎn)經(jīng)紀(jì)人擊敗122名選手贏得比賽冠軍。

海明威一直酷愛(ài)釣魚(yú)。但奧斯汀說(shuō),自從他發(fā)現(xiàn)“不能捕撈比目魚(yú)”之后,就沒(méi)去釣過(guò)魚(yú)了。

身著橄欖綠短褲、淺褐色釣魚(yú)衫,頭戴一頂帽子的奧斯汀開(kāi)玩笑說(shuō),他所謂的寫(xiě)作無(wú)非就是“在人壽保險(xiǎn)申請(qǐng)單上簽簽字”。

留著大白胡子的文學(xué)巨匠海明威出生在伊利諾斯州,今年7月21日是他誕辰108周年的紀(jì)念日。此項(xiàng)大賽是紀(jì)念海明威誕辰的第27個(gè)“海明威日”系列活動(dòng)的一部分。

1954年,海明威獲諾貝爾文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)。上世紀(jì)30年代,他一直在西島生活和工作。

來(lái)自澳大利亞的參賽選手、54歲的“硬漢”格拉漢姆·古德費(fèi)勒說(shuō),海明威和澳大利亞人有一些重要的相似之處。

他說(shuō):“我們也喜歡戰(zhàn)斗、喝酒和狩獵?!?/font>
