I don’t know I find Hemingway a hot or miss writer. Some stuff was pretty good, some a mishmash of crap.
The most overrated piece he ever wrote was “The Old Man and the Sea”. The first time I read it I thought it had be written by some kid in High School. It just wasn’t that good yet he get a Pulitzer and a Nobel for it, go figure.
There was another story on him when he living there, he did not have a TV. So he would go over to his neighbors to watch. Believe it or not one of his favorite shows “Car 54 Where Are You”. That was a funny show.
You have to read all sf in the original Klingon to truly appreciate it.

His house was a couple miles north on my same street. He graduated from Oak Park High, my alma mater....at that time rated the sixth-highest high school education-wise in the entire country.
His birth home is quite a popular tourist destination with tours showing visitors the furnishings and decor of the times.
The always-restless, adventure-seeking Hemingway couldn't wait to get out of this quiet, staid suburb that bored him to death. He DID get out right after graduation, vowing NEVER to return.
And he never DID return, except early-on for a family death.
His books made wonderful movies, always featuring the greatest stars of the wonderful Golden Age of Movies. I saw and loved them all...and I still watch for them to turn up on TV !
