hemingway IS boring

[Anonymous No.12254327]

It is "boring" but that doesn't mean it isn't good. It's value comes from the message and the way it is delivered. If you go into Hemingway expecting slightly more intellectual YA bullshit, like this dude almost certainly did, then yeah it's going to be boring to you

[Anonymous No.12254379]

Hemingway represents a higher-mid-level coping strategy for the closeted homosexual: a dramatic paring-back, which, ironically, affects the same pathology as a dramatic display, or flamboyancy. Hemingway spent as much energy repressing himself as do drag-queens flaunting their queerness. He talked of fishermen, baseball, low-hanging bulls' nuts, all to both bask in and reject his own affliction, where the flamboyant both bask in and accept it. Perhaps, then, Hemingway's suicide was simply the final act of his dramatic, (and, flamboyant in its own ways), paring-back.

Hemingway once wrote "Write drunk, edit sober."

He must have taken his own advice seriously for "The Old Man and the Sea." This book has the cadence of a stumbling drunk, ejaculating short sentences in as part of an effort to hold back the inevitable vomit.

This whole repressed or ambiguous sexuality thing (doesn't have to be full-on closet hoosexuality) is a classic commentary on Hemingway (and a lot of other writers of his generation).

We're talking about a guy who got regularly dildoed by his wife and whose son practiced cross-dressing (when Heingway learned it, he said "We come from a strange tribe you and I").

You don't see anybody make the same kind of comments about, say, Dante or Petrarch, and for good reason.

I don’t understand how you could read all the way through a book like Ulysses or IJ and “hate” it. They take you hostage and you end up with Stockholm Syndrome

I am gradually more embarrassed by his existence the more I learn about him.

The apparences weren't that well kept I think. No hate for Hemingway tho, he seems to have been mostly a good lad on top of everything else.

Sexual ambiguity isn't so easy to deal with I guess. When you look at a life of a man like that all the chadposting starts looking even most childish and off point.

I think everyone who actually finished IJ or Ulysses liked them. It took me around a month to read all of Infinite Jest. There were so many different times to bail out especially around 400-600 pages when it really becomes clear how much longer it’s gonna take to complete. Anyone who doesn’t drop is a fan.

then what? the sun also rises took me like 3 weeks to read, and that shit is short. seemed to culminate into nothing. Just a bunch of self insertion and stage setting and all for nothing really. the old man and the sea at least had some pessimistic under tones that I could pick up and even get behind.
