Hemingway wasn't that great. I've read some of his stuff and wasn't impressed.

Steinbeck wrote circles around Hemingway.

I read the Nobel people asked for their money back. I think he won it for THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA.

Ta, I did.

I'm fucked though - I can only write ten pages of shit at a time, which means I'm looking for what, maybe a paragraph, at most. Bugger. This is gonna take longer than I thought...

Thanks for the heads up, James. I agree with most of the points. But I also tend to agree with AZML: Hemingway may have been a little over-rated - or, at the very least, more uneven than his reputation would have you believe. But then, he's probably not the only mid-20th century writer of whom this could be said.

I read his books when I was at Pordenone, Italy and Zaragoza, Spain, so they were easy to relate to. Some of his books I don't care for, but many writers don't improve with age.
