What do you have to say about Hemmmingway?

I haven't even touched his work probably because of the bad rap he gets but am eventually going to get to that Old Fisherman story. Is he underrated? A YA author? Gimme the pape on Ernest guys.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 15 01:22:32 2015 No.6690616 He's great. Some people hate him because he's well known and his writing is "entry level" in terms of difficulty but that doesn't make him any less great. Underrated on /lit/. Overrated elsewhere. >>6690171 >He's full of shit Explain?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 15 03:42:04 2015 No.6690972 >>6690100 Depends on if you enjoy themes of masculine pride and pain. His style is unique but there's definitely better as far as expressing emotion.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 15 04:02:46 2015 No.6691056 For Whom The Bell Tolls is a masterpiece. You'd probably have to be a bit of a history buff to fully appreciate it though.
