I never “got” Hemingways works. I was forced to read him in high school lit. I’m a voracious reader (worn out 2 kindles, on my third) and It just never connected. I could usually get somehing out of a particular writer even if I didn’t like them. Maybe a plot twist, or a turn of phrase. Hemingway- Bupkis.

You might try his short stories. They’re very good and less bulky than those long-winded novels.
