Most of it was horrible. I read it in one sitting on a transatlantic flight. The ending was well worth it though. I am in love, so perhaps I have a higher tolerance for this stuff right now.

Surely you dont mean when he deserts from his post and goes cross country, I found it to be a wonderful change of pace and very gripping

>>5218397

Compared to Remarke, who wrote from the POV of a frontline troop, I'd say Hemingway really was the lesser of "misleading evils" here. Anyhow the war is more a backdrop

In a modern context when even 12 year olds have begun to lift weights, Hemingway looks like a complete slob. Then again, he was. Maybe people didn't want to fight him because a blow to his stomach would send whiskey rocketing into the room.

>>5217055
What's interesting to me about Hemmingway is just his simplistic style of writing, and how it originated. He was a newspaper reporter for a while, and unlike most writers he translated that simplistic and to the point style of writing over from newsprint to novel form, and yet it's still captivating somehow.
