/lit/ - Literature

The old man and the sea.

But of course /lit/ prefers tacky prose spread out on 650 pages.

Hemmingway captures as much human emotion and meaning in 10 pages as other writers in 100.

If Moby Dick is a bland, watery gravy, The old man and the sea is the same gravy, reduced heavily and seasoned perfectly, made from an authentic stock, so that it is the first american gravy coming close to European cuisine.
