Anything Hemingway.

Stories, anecdotes, opinions, collections, photos, it doesn't matter as long as it's about Hemingway.

The PBS documentary made me like him a lot less. I didn't really know much about him prior other than reading his books but I guess he was pretty insecure and would constantly try to prove his masculinity by getting drunk and trying to fight people?

[Anonymous No.18321693]

>>18321688
Also I thought it was interesting how he was portrayed in Midnight in Paris (as a wise, genius, artist, masculine ideal). Fun movie for those who haven't seen it.

[Anonymous No.18321694]

>>18321688
Yes that was the whole point of his writing. Did you not read is books? Insecure masculinity is a central theme in pretty much all of them.

I have a book of his short stories, what are best ones? I already read The Killers and liked it.

I thought that he would have been able to work himself out by his middle age. Dude was getting into drinking contests and fighting people into his 60s

I like his character in the movie as well, especially when he said why he wouldn't read Owen Wilson's manuscript.

You should read "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place."

I remember something in his memoir A Moveable Feast about him wanting to fuck Gertrude Stein.

At a certain point you do something enough it just becomes a thing you do. Hemingway got into bar fights, it was his thing. It’s not like he killed anyone. And you’re crazy if you think those guys weren’t telling their grandkids “So I’m down at Mickey’s right, and this geezer knocks over my pint so I go to straighten him out right, but guess who it was? Fuckin Ernest Hemingway. Knocked out me fuckin tooth. Top lad.”

Every famous artist, thinker, and celebrity of the last century or so has been totally curated. There is nothing organic in any of those industries. The only way to make it to star levels of fame was to get through the gatekeepers.

Actually, this is nothing new. Traditionally throughout history if you wanted to become famous you couldn't openly insult the regime.

Being as the West's academic tradition has been leftist for a long time, all of its famous intellectuals have been chosen for their compliance to leftism. Which is why every single famous person you can find, almost to a person, is communist/ leftist/ "subversive" (in a lefty manner) etc.

Of course there was a right wing tradition too, but they have almost all been blotted out.

So really. Fuck Hemingway, fuck the Paris fags, fuck it all. Evil fucks one and all. The whole medium and tradition. It's all garbage that has been carefully picked to sway public opinion. Anyone who can't intuitively sense its innate subversive leftyness is blind.

Just picked up a giant book of his short stories today. What are his best ones? I've never read anything by Hemmingway but my friend told me A Clean Well Lighted Place is a good one. Any others?

Is it? I got the impression none of the relationship in the novel were at all meaningful, coming out of an actual committed relationship is alien compared to Brett messing around with a bunch of men and running off

Brett was a typical feminist archetype. Really nothing special about her. Most of the novel is men chasing her and Jake dealing with the aftermath.

Not him and I still dont really know what he's on about but I thought about it for a bit and maybe me means in more of a redpill way that women are manipulative I can see if your going through a breakup it might make you hate women a little more idk

[Anonymous No.18325760]

One of my fave Hemmy passages:

"I had gone to no such place but to the smoke of cafes and nights when the room whirled and you needed to look at the wall to make it stop, nights in bed, drunk, when you knew that that was all there was, and the strange excitement of waking and not knowing who it was with you, and the world all unreal in the dark and so exciting that you must resume again unknowing and not caring in the night, sure that this was all and all and all and not caring."

Also A Movable Feast is one of the most excellent memoirs.

She’s a pitiable figure to me. She embodies all the glamour of the modern woman at the time sure, but she’s also suffering the consequences of living in that environment. She doesn’t really know how to be happy beyond chasing the next thrill (cock). The one person she thinks she can be happy with lacks that one thing to make them complete as man and woman. Or so she tells herself. “We could have been so happy together.” “Isn’t it pretty to think so?”
Because maybe that’s just who she is now. She’s doesn’t have any idea what would really make her happy, it’s likely she’s treat Barnes this way injury or not. In the end she’s just a silly girl who wants to be happy but has no idea how to do it anymore.

So it’s not like an action movie?

If that’s the case I’m canceling it on Amazon. Don’t want to read something that doesn’t have action or adventure in it.
