"Prose is architecture, not interior decoration, and the Baroque is over" Death in the Afternoon by Ernest Hemmingway

I love Hemingway, was Death in Afternoon good?

I don't know, I was trying to start a troll thread but failed miserably. I don't like Hemingway, I think he's vastly overrated and that pretty much every other modernist is better.

"Death in the Afternoon" is all about bullfights, and Hem goes through great detail describing the bullfight scene in Spain during the early 20th century.

It's interesting, but I don't think it should be taken as a definitive text. He calls a few of the matadors "maricon" for example.

You mean his inferiority complex that led him to conform to the most stereotypical image of a man he could find? Not jelly at all.
