hersey_stamp.jpg The late John Hersey, who was a writer of acclaimed works of fiction and nonfiction, including Hiroshima and the Pulitzer-winning A Bell for Adano, has a new honor: He's featured on a U.S. postal service stamp. Hersey lived in Key West for many years and was a beloved member of the literary community here. Each year, the seminar's opening address on Thursday night is named in his honor.
