Other than Atlas Shrugged, have never been much of a fiction reader. Am glad i was able to dodge most of the “recommended reading” list in high school, Hemmingway included. Shakespere—always get Macbeth and Hamlet mixed up and who cares anyway. Had three digbat college English professors but got 2 As and a B.
Ken Burns is a leftie Hillaryista but I liked the Civil War and especially Empire of the Air.
Check out “From Here to Eternity” by James Jones and after you read the first chapter, I guarantee you won’t put the book down. Oh, and in that book, Jones had a bit of fun with Hemingway’s reputation.
And overlong humorless speech disguised as a novel.
