Ernest Hemingway

What does Veeky Forums think about Ernest Hemingway? I had been reading Farewell to Arms for two weeks now (I don't have much time to read) and his writing style easily catchesmy attention.

i'd let him peg my ass

Thank you for your brainless answer sir

Last time we talked about him, everybody called him a phony hack and some user had a mental breakdown about his mom molesting him. Let's just say that Hemingway is kind of a dead topic around here. That last thread was probably the best Veeky Forums ever had though.

>and some user had a mental breakdown about his mom molesting him
Sounds like a Hemingway thread alright.

Oh. Didn't know that.

Insecure alcoholic who couldn't keep his self insertion and idealized women out of his shitty adventure novels.

He's great. But, because of both his stylistic influence and his conscously constructed persona, it's hard to read him without the baggage of the past 80 years. I think many his short stories are the work of genius, though this didn't always translate into the longer form of a novel. If you stick to his short stories, the major novels (Sun also Rises, Farewell to Arms, For Whom, Old Man) and A Moveable Feast, you can't go wrong.

I remember that thread and the fucking normalfags who were oppressing poor user.

I just couldn't get in to the romance in For Whom the Bells Toll so it was somewhat of a drag to read. Everything else about the book interested me so I kept on reading.

Am I a spergchild for this?
