Evidence

Not only Hemingway but also a number of other writers (Fitzgerald, Miller, Nabokov), poets (Yeats, Heaney), composers (Handel, Dvorak, Prokofiev, Stravinsky), and painters (Picasso, Gauguin) divined some of their best known masterworks during or following a stint living abroad. And many people returning from having lived abroad describe the experience as life changing, and admit that they can never view the world or themselves in the same way again. — Roderick M.
