Hemingway has been so thoroughly assimilated by the - culture - his works, his style, his life, his myth Posted: Apr 10th, 2021 - 11:49 am In Reply to: Interesting stuff on Hemingway’s lefist leanings. - I read a good bio of Hemingway many years ago.
his influence on other writers - that he's not that interesting anymore. It's hard to read him with the fascination and admiration that his contemporaries felt.
But that's sort of Ken Burns's thing. People are tired of baseball. They don't care about jazz. They take national parks for granted. Burns makes documentaries about them. The documentaries are interesting because of all the details, but six hours of Hemingway seems like a very long slow slog through stuff we already know or don't want to know.
I saw a series a few years ago, interesting and illuminating. His ties with Communism were brought out. He was a unfaithful adulterating womanizer, a blowhard, and a boring writer.
I bet many people would be surprised at Charles Lindberg's association with Germany.
