/lit/ - Literature

How was Hemingway able to do what he did? His seemingly simplistic style makes him easy to read but he says so much with so little.

A short like 'cat in the rain' or 'a day's wait' tells a far better story than many of the "greatest" authors I can think of.

Hey /lit/. Posr your favorite conversation from a story. Here is mine, from Hemingway.

"Harold, please don't muss up the paper. Your father can't read his Star if its been mussed."

"I won't muss it," Krebs said.

Can we talk about Hemingway? I've been reading a collection of his short stories and am blown away. He hardly uses fancy words, but the simplicity in which he says things makes me constantly smile. 'Cat In The Rain' is probably my favorite so far. I'm not a smart man and cannot describe what it is that makes him so great, so hopefully one of you can tell me.

Chilling would be pretty great. Dont deny it
