One book wonder and quite possibly the 2nd most over rated author of the 20th Century.

Who's the first? John Steinbeck or Ernest Hemingway?

I liked Steinbeck, read most everything he wrote. Hemmingway, “The Sun Also Rises”, first and last good book.

Steinbeck: I am a fan, and I am very distantly related to him (via the Hamiltons of Ulster/Scotland).

Hemingway: fine early work, but both writer and work became a parody later.
