So, this recording is him speaking and not the US Ambassador? I have looked for Hemingway "interviews" before and have been hard pressed to find anything. If anyone has any sources, that'd be great.

I think it's Ernest speaking. (Hemingway did not attend the banquet, but had the U.S. Ambassador to Sweden read his short speech; soon after he recorded this audio in Cuba.)

I read that too, but I have seen this posted before and there was some skepticism as to it's authenticity. Regardless, it's a great speech.
