Yeah the bull fights and being in Spain was cool but I don't get it.
>>24753402I think it's antisemitic
>>24753402It's the same as every Hemingway's work.His self-insert does the same thing he did in the same place he was during the same events at the time except that the self-insert is a turbo chad who bangs women and does heroic things.
>>24753402There is nothing to get, Hemingway is overrated, and should never be read. He doesnt have one masterpiece.
>>24753536>a turbo chad who bangs womenHave you even read this book?
>>24753539He wrote an excellent short story about the short life of francis mccomb
>>24753402The things to “get” can be summarized by the two opening quotes. One from Ecclesiastes and the other from Gertrude Stein. Basically that “there is nothing new under the sun” and that Hemmingway and his contemporaries were the “lost generation”
>>24753402the ultimate "it is what it is" book.
Lost generation expats lead frivolous lives and corrupt the poor dumb Spaniards (Not sure I buy the last bit. I’m sure the kid bullfighter would have discovered booze and pussy on his own even without the depraved anglos and Americans
>>24753536>turbo chad who bangs women and does heroic thingsT. definitely read this book
>>24753536The mc was a cuck who likes to help the girl get around while she cucks more guys. Total degeneracy
You can skip over all of his shit except for The Old Man and The Sea. Extremely overrated hack.
>>24754873au contraire, mon amiyou should read everything except TOMATS
