ABOUT F. JOHN WILKES JR.
John Wilkes has traveled extensively in his quest for knowledge and wisdom. From his origins in New York, to his teen years in Florida, to his escapades at a New England prep school, to his discovery of the French culture in Europe and West Africa, he has cultivated a gift for telling stories.
A devoted fan of Hemingway as author, adventurer and lover, John has tracked Papa’s life and times. Having taught French at private girls’ schools, today he continues to expand his knowledge and love for France and its language by frequently visiting the country. It is not surprising then that John lives in the shadow of one of the great gifts of France, the Statue of Liberty, with his wife, Gini.
