Interesting exchange between Oprah and Hemingway. I enjoyed Hemingway's story and final comment. Well woven. I just wish there was a little more of Oprah in the piece since she only had three lines.

I liked the conversation but it was very confusing as he called Oprah Mrs Winfrey. And Oprah never acted in the color purple. It through me that. Thank you for sharing, it was a fun read.

I love this. You picked a great pair of characters to mix together. It seemed so real, like I was watching Oprah on TV. Good luck in the contest. This should be a great contender.

Oprah in her reverie states Hemingway has no idea how things had changed but one of the first things he says is having either read a 1982 book or seen a 1985 film. How is that feasible? I get the interview in itself isn't but a piece has to stand by its own rules. The fact he's seen it negates the Oprah statement. He'd be very aware how much things had changed in many ways.
I'm not sure about the capitals. At first I thought they were a device of indicating the speaker but you use them for both characters. Not sure why. It's a little distracting from the read.
A lot of info in this piece, but low on actual conversation. the only question Oprah asks is if she can call him by his first name. Not that the competition fully calls for a full conversation.
Oprah sounds like Oprah though...lol
All the best

Very well written just like a newspaper woman would interview a guest. Sounds so well and histort of Hemingways life very interesting and amusing. What happened to him? Well done. Liberty justice

I'm like the way you put in the quotes and sayings and writings associated with Hemmingway. That took some time and thinking. Well done.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Ernest Hemingway was truly one of the classic greats, no doubts about it.
His one-line story (or so it's been speculated as being his), "Baby Shoes for Sale" is chilling for so few words.
I enjoyed your take on the contest prompt.
I felt you did a marvelous job with Oprah's portion. It sounded just like her; you must be an ardent fan.
As for Hemingway, we can only speculate.
Good luck.

I think this is a good entry for the 'conversations' writing prompt.
Well done. Your story is well told and I suppose that is how the conversation between these two might well go.
Good luck to you with the competition.
