Where does one start with Hemmingway?
Where you end probably, but I wouldn’t know, I only read The Sun Also Rises. Which was good but enough for me.
>>25389474Don't bother with this cuck.
>>25389477>cuckPlease kindly elaborate.
>>253894984 different women divorced him and at least one of his grandchildren tr00ned out. I don't need to know more about this absolute failure of a human bean.
>>25389504>human beanCringe, dude.
>>25389474Start with "The Sun Always Rises", then "A Farewell to Arms", then "For Whom the Bell Tolls", then "The Old Man and the Sea", and then go from there with anything else that catches your fancy.
>>25389474Uh, read some of the short stories? The killers as a short story is very bad but i can’t remember why because caring about writing short stories is something i chose to stop caring about for awhile, and not entirely successfully either
>>25389474Read a short story or two.The BattlerThe KillersHills Like White ElephantsThe Short Happy Life Of Francis Macomberif you don't like any of these, EH is probably not for you.
>>25389474deffo Men without Women. read the stories in there and you'll know if hes going to click with you or not
/lit/ calls themselves literaries yet they never read garden of edensmfh
>>25393795It's okay book, but the people who've read it pretend like it's some masterpiece, when it isn't. It's better than his other later works, but nowhere near The Sun Also Rises or Farewell to Arms. IIRC Hemingway's manuscript of it was like 700 pages long, the published version is like 200, you have to wonder if it should be even considered Hemingway's or the editor's.HOWEVER it gives nice insight into his writing process and the thing he does with the african short story written by the main character is cool. Finally it's Hemingway book with pegging, which in itself makes it interesting.Still the cannonical books everyone MUST read once in their lifetime is : The Sun Also Rises, Farewell to Arms, For Whom The Bell Tolls and Old Man and the Sea. Garden of Eden isn't amongst them. (and I said MUST becouse if you haven't read them, idk how you can live, how you can hold intelligent conversation or how can you consider yourself a reader).
>>25389474Just read that one good chapter he wrote in for whom the bell tolls and move on, he's not very good
>>25389474he was the fakest tough guy
>>25393989lol? Hemingway is one of the greatest writers ever. You probably dislike him, becouse you don't read enough and your reading abilities are below american high-school drop-outs back then.
>>25389474the snows of kilimanjaro and other stories
The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms were really engaging and good reads. But For Whom the Bell Tolls and Across the River and Into the Trees were a tiresome slog. But everything is worth experiencing, he was a master of the art
>>25394025NTA but Hemingway's way too sparse style is too boring to be interesting. He gets completely overshadowed in prose and plot by Faulkner and Steinbeck., not mention authors like Burroughs and Gardner(not the bond writer). The Old Man and the Sea had the potential to be an immortal masterpiece of literature, but Hemingway chose the road of high-school's mandatory reading list.
>>25389504>4 different women divorced himthat means he had sex with at least 4 more women than you have
>>25393057>The Short Happy Life Of Francis Macomberthis is honestly my favorite thing he wrote, get cucked faggot lmao
>>25389474

All his romance plot/subplots are gay as fuck
>>25394025>Hemingway is one of the greatest writers ever.why are trannymericans like this?
>>25389474>Where does one start with Hemmingway?Carlos Baker's biography of Hemingway.
>>25389474Start by tossing him in the bin.
>>25389474Read this short story collection, don't bother with any Complete Short Stories of Hemingway.
>>25402674I read my old man and it was sad
>>25396557>get cucked faggot lmaoWhy did you write this garbage
