Morley Callaghan

Morley Callaghan (1903-1990), born in Toronto into a Catholic family of Irish origin, worked at the Toronto Star while he was a student, and Ernest Hemingway, then a reporter at the same newspaper, read his first texts and encouraged him; he then studied law. In the summer of 1929, in Paris, he saw Fitzgerald and Joyce and knocked Hemingway down in a boxing match that became famous, which he would recount in 1963 in a book of memoirs. Back in Toronto, he wrote there for six decades short stories, many of them for the New Yorker, and some fifteen novels. He died in Toronto.
