Maybe you should actually try reading something he wrote. You’re probably basing your opinions about him by movies made from his books in the 70s. Don’t trust that.
In my opinion, Hemingway was:
The definitive American writer of the 20th century.
A piece of shit as a husband, father, and friend.
Exceptionally courageous, but a coward in the end (suicide).
A great, big, conflicted, imperfect, tortured, asshole of a genius.
