The Hemingway Hoax

The Hemingway Hoax is a 1990 short novel by science fiction writer Joe Haldeman. It weaves together a story of an attempt to produce a fake Ernest Hemingway manuscript with themes concerning time travel and parallel worlds. A shorter version of the book won both a Hugo Award and a Nebula Award for Best Novella in 1991 (for stories in 1990).

A literary scholar decides to create a forged copy of Hemingway's missing first novel. He unwittingly interferes with a destined nuclear war which was influenced by Hemingway's stories. The scholar consequently experiences multiple deaths as he keeps shifting between parallel timeline.
