Lousy ass. I read a really good criticism of the sun always rises. Probably couldn't find it. Not sure if I can get in my Twitter where I saved it

Wow. A seemingly-righteous feministic roasting of the patriarchy. In 1925. Solid and scathing, yep. Suck it, Ernest.

Martha Gellhorn was a badass that got fed up with his shit.

I love Hemingway's short stories, however. Remove his flaws, and they would suck.

Kinda what I thought when I read the book too

Probably only finished because his prose is simple

I don’t hate him categorically. But fuck that book so much
