I still love to read Hemingway, and that was heretical where I took English...

It's fashionable nowadays for English-teacher-types to beat up on Hemingway. I have no idea why: great writing is great writing.

He puts you in the scene almost immediately. I like his writing...but no doubt he's pc incorrect for his man-woman viewpoints as much as anything.
