I find it interesting how many CIA people AND communists wrote American novels...each trying to influence the masses ideologically through fiction. Still going on today.
Fist of all, I must apologize for writing Hemingway with 2 “Ms.” I must be having a brain fart because I know better than that.
In 1936, it was hard to choose between the fascist Nationalists or the radicalized left Republicans whom Hemingway favored.
Today it would be like choosing between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. They are both dangerous.
He should have just kept out of it; but then, he was a writer.
