I dunno about best but I want to shout out Islands in the Stream for being the best sample platter Hemingway you can get. Has the ex-pat melancholy shambling between cafes, has a mini- Old Man and the Sea sequence, and then goes fucking war novel to cap it off. Shame he never got to finish tuning it up.

I never understood this mindset of “country vs country”.Sure there is some cultural differences between them but the thing about great literature is that it transcends borders because it deals with humanity.Bravery, depression, love, God, etc exists in every country

Nigga press the fucking space bar after the period.its just rly annoying.cant believe u dont see that.but desu the beat hem.idk if i had to say, but probably his short stories.theyre just gems style at its best.best novel would be niggaz 4 whom bells b tollin.it isnt really the best example of his style tho.if were talking best example of hems style in novel form,i'd say its farewell to arms,or sun also rises.across the river and into the trees is good as well

If you don’t like him, whatever.But pretty much every author sticks with a few themes.His writing is actually very good and carefully constructed.He is similar to Chekhov in that the reader has to dig a big, hence the iceberg theory.The style isn’t for everyone but sometimes minimalism is better than long, flowery, ornate sentences.I’m glad I can enjoy different styles

Hard to say, many of his short stories are virtuoso tier, like flawless, on par with Chekhov, and I'd even say toe to toe against Joyce's stories in Dubliners. "Indian Camp" is amazing, "Big Two-Hearted River" (lots of the Nick Adams stories really), "The Killers," "A Clean Well-Lighted Place," "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber," "The Snows of Kilimanjaro." He is truly the greatest of all American minimalist writers, especially in his short fiction.

Then you have Sun, it is perhaps not as ambitious as the others but its very spry and cleanly done, not a misstep in it at all.

A Farewell to Arms is what I consider his best of the novels, he's one of the few modernists who does modernism without making things difficult for difficulty's sake.

But then, I would say that For Whom the Bell Tolls is Hemingway's epic War and Peace type novel (which of course is still very short and slim in comparison), and The Old Man and the Sea is very brilliant in its own way.

In closing, his 4 novels, Sun, A Farewell, Bell Tolls, and Old Man + his short stories are great and worth the time for sure.
