Strictly for the YA or beginner crowd. If you are beyond 25 you shouldn't be reading him.

hello satan

but seriously, he's a good writer, better than most. I would imagine that the reason he gets shit on here (see: >>16721673) is because his writing is simple enough for 'normies' to understand and appreciate at face value. But the guy literally coined the 'Iceberg Theory' term so I would imagine that most normies reading his stories aren't reading in-between the lines for the deeper meanings hidden within. The fact that he was able to even communicate some kind of deeper meaning with such a simple and direct writing style is a testament to his skill as a writer.

I think he’s a fine writer and his importance in shaping the modern novel is something to be respected.

[Anonymous No.16721714]

>>16721700
Did he actually coin the term or he simply described his style and some 'critic' put a name to it?

>reading in-between the lines for the deeper meanings hidden within

do they really exist or are they just imagined by the reader who is compensating for the paucity of information?

I'm amazed that some of his novels are still sold in those first-edition covers. Pretty cool.

to answer both your questions at once:
>The iceberg theory or theory of omission is a writing technique coined by American writer Ernest Hemingway. As a young journalist, Hemingway had to focus his newspaper reports on immediate events, with very little context or interpretation. When he became a writer of short stories, he retained this minimalistic style, focusing on surface elements without explicitly discussing underlying themes. Hemingway believed the deeper meaning of a story should not be evident on the surface, but should shine through implicitly.

She’s a good writer. If she gets hate recently it’s probably just because anons are paranoid that people are only praising her because BLM decided she was on the naughty list this Summer

so what's the criteria for Hemingway and the authors you listed here >>16721738 to be considered 'YA'? I'm interested to hear why you chose those authors specifically

The only thing I know from Bukowski is:

>It has been a beautiful

>Still

Good poem. I like it.

Me, eventually, but I embrace my future celebrity.

[Anonymous No.16722091]

Just started A Farewell and I am genuinely impressed, I’ve reread every chapter in part one at least twice now (the first chapter maybe five or six times), there is a lot of subtext behind everything, especially the obvious shit. I do wonder if his style and influence may have unintentionally dumbed down pop-lit, but who cares, this guy had a brilliant mind and revolutionized our language

Pynchon is the quintessential YA author. His meme status on this board is a testament to that

sun also rises is my least fav book ever. pointless, no beauty, dull and boring. feels like a journal. absolutely no imaginative thing in it. old man and the sea is good, it feels like a classic

[Anonymous No.16724248]

Hemingway is my favorite author. Pseuds just get mad because he doesn't write in convoluted prose. Love him so much I got a tattoo of the Sun Also Rises cover.

I read OP and for whom the bell toll but I really don't get the appeal. I will give a chance to old man and the sea but if that doesn't click either I will just ascribe him in the not for me category and move on. I may or may not proceed to call him shit in lit threads
