    Ernest Hemingway

    Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. His classic novel The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. His life and accomplishments are explored in-depth in the PBS documentary film from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, Hemingway. Known for his larger-than-life personality and his passions for bullfighting, fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum, Idaho on July 2, 1961.

      Beautiful stripped down language. Great vivid setting depiction. Great characters and dialogue Great story arcs that leave you thinking. Great control of tone and mood. Great.

      Aside from a few other short stories, this was my introduction to Hemingway. It's easy to see why he's so often placed at the laconic end of the writers' spectrum. I often found myself pausing to ponder what was meant by a character's remark or action. Hemingway also positions the reader in various perspectives, helping them see through a given character's eyes based on what is observed and how the other characters are referenced. The compilation of stories not originally appearing together demonstrates a cohesiveness of character development. Hemingway clearly knew these people well. Much of it is autobiographical. We get a sense that it's very personal.I especially enjoyed "On Writing," including this excerpt: "Talking about anything was bad. Writing about anything actual was bad. It always killed it. The only writing that was any good was what you made up, what you imagined. That made everything come true."
