Is Hemingway worth reading or is he just an american meme?

hey, memes have feelings too, you know

He's just a meme who offed himself for the literary recognition. He's the modernist DFW, if you will.

Hemingway in a nutshell

>>8698909
That.. sounds pretty inenjoyable.

Yeah, all jest aside, I've only read a handful of his works but all of his stories seem to revolve around the same things. There's always a journey, women who are greatly exaggerated to be clueless FEEL machines, drinking, and manly bravado. His prose is good, and imagery decent. I'd recommend his major works.

Struck a deal with the Nobel committee. His life in exchange for a prize.

It feels like somewhere I've been before, but in a dreamy kind of way. Really nice.

>>8698924
what about For Whom the Bell tolls. there isn't really a major journey there, they just fuck around at some base camp no?

A Farewell to Arms was boring as fuck, wouldn't recommend

>>8698480
Holy shit that painting is more beautiful than any woman

I wanna fuck it so hard

HNNG.

Yeah I suppose you're right, the only real traveling in that book is when they have to go to the other camp. Honestly, For Whom the Bell Tolls was pretty boring.

>>8698924
What about old man and the sea? Other then a journey
