It was Ernest Hemingway who, in a conversation with his biographer A.E. Hotchner, coined the term "unsynchronized passion." He was referring to his love for Marlene Dietrich, though the pair never had an affair. But maybe there are benefits to be found in unsynchronized passions. It's a subject my blog will explore, but in the meantime I salute Hemingway for all the ways he influenced writers of his own century--and the current era, too.
