The writer recalls a visit to the grave of Ernest Hemingway in Ketchum, Idaho, on the Fourth of July. He explains that he was on a national pilgrimage that summer, paying homage at the homes of fictional fathers by visiting the birthplaces and resting places of famous writers. He remembers that he felt ambivalent about going to Hemingway's grave because he never really related to him. Nonetheless, he notes that he felt a debt to the writer because he had taught Hemingway's stories, and there are none finer for teaching the young on how to leave the right things out.
