(AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File)NEW YORK – Book publishing in 2020 was a story of how much an industry can change and how much it can, or wants to, remain the same. To its benefit and to its dismay, publishing was drawn into the events of the moment. Penguin Random House, among other initiatives, asked all employees to read Ibram X. Kendi’s “How To Be an Anti-Racist.” Kendi later presided over a company town hall. Macmillan CEO Don Weisberg, who cited a wide range of diversity programs at the publishing house that began before “American Dirt,” said he “understands the skepticism." The CEO of Penguin Random House U.S., Madeline McIntosh, noted how well book publishing could meet the public's needs during the pandemic and other events of 2020.

KEY WEST, Fla. For the first time in 40 years, no burly, white bearded men vying for the title of one of Key Wests most famous residents, gathered at Sloppy Joes tavern this weekend. The Papa Hemingway lookalike contest has been a tradition on the island for four decades a three-night contest at the end of July where 1 of 135-plus screaming Hemingway fans would be crowned the 2020 Hemingway Look-Alike. Most contestants are between 60 and 80 years old, presenting a potentially risky situation since that age group is especially susceptible to COVID-19. The mansion museum is also famous for its population of six-toed cats, descendants of Hemingways white polydactyl kitten named Snow White. As far as Hemingway being known as Papa, he gave himself that nickname when he was in his late 20s, while in Paris.

Known for its races with bulls running along cobbled streets, the festival was popularized by Ernest Hemingways 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises and was last called off during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s. With more than 28,000 deaths from the novel virus and an economy in the doldrums following a strict nationwide lockdown, local authorities say there is little to celebrate. They gathered at the city hall square at noon, the time a rocket known as Chupinazo opens the 9-day festival in normal times. Revelers from all around the world respond to the rocket by bathing each other with red wine and champagne. Instead a large sign from the city halls facade displayed the slogan #WeWillExperienceThem, an invitation to revelers to return for next years celebrations.
