Is Ernest Hemingway the Orson Welles of literature?

No, not really. They were just two fat bearded guys who happened to be friends

This.
They're nothing alike, other than the fact they both despised woody Allen types.
Why is /lit/ such a shithole?

Norman Mailer maybe.

No
Ernest Hemingway is known for his sparse, minimalistic prose
Orson Welles is known for his dense, formally complex films: his style is basically considered cinematic rococo
You couldn't have picked two more artistically different people

welles took expressionist and avant garde techniques to mainstream drama

hemingway was minimalist and avant garde in his own time

both were interested in entirely different themes

At rococo? Rococo in its native form is disgusting, but in terms of density the comparison is accurate. Maybe Rococo is too far; Baroque, certainly, though
