Interesting stuff on Hemingway’s lefist leanings. - I read a good bio of Hemingway many years ago. Posted: Apr 10th, 2021 - 10:47 am In Reply to: Directed by Ken Burns. Tells you all you need to know. - I'll just state the obvious. He
The only two books of his I liked were The Sun Also Rises, and For Whom the Bell Tolls. The Old Man and the Sea was horrible, it was if it was written by someone in high school, vastly overrated.
His whole persona of the macho man was over the top, it was like he had to keep proving to himself he was a man.
I will watch no series done by Ken Burns, himself vastly overrated, as I don't trust him anymore. I used to though. Don't know what happened. TDS maybe.
Over 30 years ago, there was a good TV miniseries on Hemingway starring Stacy Keach, Jr., I though Keach was great casting and did a fine job.
