I will probably read it. I liked his writing style.

Part of being a good writer, is knowing whether what you just wrote is something you want published under your name.

Lots of times, unpublished stories and songs were unpublished for a reason.

The Green Hills of Africa, The Snows of Kilimanjaro, and The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber I liked very much.

All the other Hemingway I've read I pretty much hated.

[Slyfox]

I have some of his most famous stuff and a couple of his short stories. The two most memorable for me were "Up in Michigan" where he spent his summers as a lid as I also did.

And "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomb." I was blown away by that story. Hemingway was one great writer.

Ping for later.

Some of the most boring novels I’ve ever read were by John Steinbeck.

Do I have to read it standing naked at a podium, with a glass of scotch handy to get the full Hemingway effect?

A few years ago I read a book about Zelda Fitzgerald.

When Zelda and Hemingway first met in France, he took F. Scott aside and confidentially told him Zelda was insane. Later Zelda told Fitzgerald that Hemingway was a phony.

They were probably both right.

I never thought much about Hemingway until I read “Old Man at the Bridge” a short work by him during the Spanish civil war. Hemingway took a news dispatch he filed and turned it into literature. I was much impressed. I thought it was amazing.
