Hemingway wrote standing up because he had a serious case of hemorrhoids. Sitting was painful for him. I don’t know how much this influenced his writing. His prose is beautiful but I don’t think he had much to say that’s still significanlty relevant.

As Howard Stern said, proper wiping prevents hemorrhoids so what does that say about Hemingway?

Good TP is hard to find when you're on safari. Maybe he used the wrong kind of leaves.

No disrespect to Howard Stern, but I think I’d get a second opinion in medical matters.
