None of which alters my enjoyment of his writing.

[Ueriah]

Yeah, I agree. People can be real jerks, but so long as they are good writers, I’ll hear their words.

[alloysteel]

Ernest Hemingway was a LOYAL New Dealer and passionate FDR supporter, who totally rejected his upbringing in a prosperous family in suburban Oak Park, Illinois, of which he supposedly said was a place of “broad lawns and narrow minds.” Rebelling early on against his conservative, Christian upbringing, young Ernest became a libertine and very much a participant of the 1920’s, including a more than passing flirtation with the “Red measles” of the time.

Of course he welcomed Castro.

[Lurker]

So he was not only an awful writer and a slobbering drunk, but a sadist, too.

[SpaceBar]

Michael Savage idolizes Hemingway. Perhaps he needs to rethink his position.

[SaintDismas]

I did not know this. I have no respect for him now whatsoever, even dead. good wordsmith or not. Sure hope he repented but then oh yeah he died by his own hand indicating deep despair - now his suicide makes more sense. Wow

[gusopol3]

Blew his own brains out, too, didn’t he? I wonder if his final image was of some of these shattered skulls?

[onedoug]

“Death to the adjective.”

[Savage Beast]

Ernest Hemingway is the most overrated author in the history of the world. A Farewell to Arms is so inane I could hardly get through it. The Old Man and the Sea bored me to sleep. The only thing he ever wrote that was at all interesting was A Moveable Feast, which was nonfiction.

[elcid1970]

How a famous person treats those nearest to him or her DOES influence the moral quality of their intellectual output.

But when Hemingway decided his time on this Earth was over, he got it done with both barrels.

[Califreak]

Hemingway?

Meh

[Popman]

Perhaps great minds think alike.....

[tumblindice]

Agree. Ernie’s for that phase in a student’s life just after
Dr. Seuss.

[yoe]

Treat yourself and family members with one of these:

...(shirts)...wear with PRIDE!

[IronJack]

Ernest Hemingway is the most overrated author in the history of the world.

Mostly true, if a bit overstated.

[trisham]

Nice!

[GeronL]

bump

[onedoug]

Do the grandsons want to emulate that?

[ansel12]

I couldn’t see the magic in Hemingway’s writing, his reputation as a writer has always mystified me.
