“Hokum: A Play in Three Acts” by Morris McNeil and apparently Ernest M. Hemingway was published in 1978 by The Sans Souci Press in Wellesley Hills. The use of the word apparently before Hemingway’s name was a requirement imposed by the Estate of Ernest Hemingway. The verification of Hemingway’s co-authorship of this play, which was unpublished during Hemingway’s lifetime, is presented in great detail in William and Dorothy Young’s Introduction in the book (pages 9 -14). This play may be Hemingway’s first major work! This assertion is supported by the words on the copyright page, which states that the play was first copyrighted on June 4, 1921 - Hemingway’s first novel, The Sun Also Rises, was not published until 1926.

Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American novelist, short story writer, and journalist. His economical and understated style had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his life of adventure and his public image influenced later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. He published seven novels, six short story collections, and two non-fiction works. Additional works, including three novels, four short story collections, and three non-fiction works, were published posthumously. Many of his works are considered classics of American literature.
