Hemingway be like “And on the Mediterranean I bedded many women. They had supple breasts and large rears but it was all very tragic.” Why do people praise this hack lol.

Unrelated to the content of his works, but I am unable to read a single sentence of his with any clarity. The general structure of his sentences is familiar, but the manner in which he inserts adjectives and phrases inspires a shudder of disgust, and I can no further enjoy his work than I do a Colleen Hoover novel.

How is that unrelated to the content of his works

I find that the manner in which Hemingway writes is very quintessentially American. It isn't too flowery, it's very 'meat and potatoes'. It won't appeal to everyone. I, however, like it.

robert frost got the same thing going too in poetry, the plowboy version

Hemingway's generation of men were forced to go to war, which means they were either killed/maimed young or were traumatised but hardened into chads with unlimited access to women.
The problems in life faced by a Lost Generation WWI veteran could not be more alien or unrelatable to a soft, zoomer incel today.

It isn't too flowery, it's very 'tits and ass'

Unlike Hemingway

>>23811451
He is a proto boomer. Even thought Franco would lose the war because Freedom tm prevails. His son trooned out as well. Quintessentially American like Quentin Tarantino.
I do like the old man and the sea though beit.

Write a parody of the text instead of a parody of the caricature of Hemingway in your mind.

>>23811451
He writes like a straight man thinking straight thoughts. If you don't like it go read about gay men having thoughts, or dykes etc

Hemingway be like "brb, gonna go hang out with some communists during the Spanish civil war, and then partake in the talmudic blood ritual across Europe during WW2"

thankfully he ACK'd himself like a true spiritual tranny
>>
>>23815634
Worth noting, at least according to the responses on that thread, that the consensus leans heavily toward "he lied." Not that it affects the moral assessment since he was still degenerative enough to write this.

You anons haven't read enough. First, there's nothing American about meat and potatoes, especially not the America Hemingway was living in. Have you been to his house in the Keys? America hadn't been a meat and potatoes country since Billy the Kid was gunning down 21 different people. Even then, you know who first took the boats from Europe? Rich snobs. America has been obsessed with commercialized comfort since it's origin. That all said, do I appreciate Hemingway? Sure. There's substance there. The Sun Also Rises and a few of his short stories have stuck with me, plus there's a decent idea backing The Old Man and the Sea, but to suggest he's a spokesperson for an American ideal is absurd.

And as for the anon who suggested bukowski, let me explain why you're a dip shit for two separate reasons. 1, this is /lit/. Every edgy anons has already read him, and his ugly mug is smeared across this board constantly. You didn't recommend anything, you just echoed the echo chamber. 2. Bukowski is a god awful writer who's only seen recognition because how much he apes Hemingway in every way he can, only he's not good enough to recognize why Hemingway succeeded, so he just took his stripped down prose and applied it to his pathetic life, leaving no rhyme or reason for any of it to exist. He's a nonentity. He's to men what Rupi Kaur is to women-- a hyperbolic bastardization of normie behavior. I recommend nobody read him, as he's bound to go out of vogue in the next 20 years.

Humans have liked large toned asses forever, there's a biological evolutionary imperative to do so.

it was actually that white people liked big asses until gay culture told them not to

Looked into it. You got me. I guess Mr Edwards, my 4th grade history teacher made that up.

I always knew Ernest Reddit Hemingway was gay. There is nothing more disgusting and pathetic than embelleshing in killing defenseless people just because they aren't on "your" team.
At least he shot himself too. Fucking nigger loving zionist.

>>23813778
That's not a big ass. Negresses have big asses, that ass is perfect size. Not too big, not too small. Built for my cock
>>23816365
There's nothing wrong with being gay, anon

>>23815634
not sure what's more disgusting, actually doing it, or writing a fantasy about doing it while not having the guts to

the latter is definitely more disgusting
war making men into brutes is understandable even if it's not truly exonerating. a man who combines the worst traits of a coward and a brute is utterly repulsive even if his actual negative impact on the rest of the world is smaller.

I just did a little research and it appears that all descendants of Hemingway went into journalism or modelling of sorts and the ones who wrote produced some worthless slop about their struggle with addictions and related stuff
>have one famous ancestor
>be set for life and profit from it
is this the fabled American meritocracy?
