    The preface to A Moveable Feast, and really Hemingway's entire ethos, reminds me a lot of Jeanette Winterson's theme in Art and Lies of "There's no such thing as autobiography, there's only art and lies". In her case though, this book came before her own autobiography, which was so unromanticised and dry it almost read like a Goodreads bio. It's like as if while they both knew it's pointless trying to be objective in narrating someone's life, she tried her might to mitigate it and he embraced it with a lot more humor than one might associate with grumpy macho grandpa.
    Not saying either was more correct, just that it's something that pays to be aware of. You can usually tell when someone has no idea how they're coming off and when they're in on it.

    I have tried so hard to like Hemingway, and I have never been able to cross that bridge. His style of writing does not agree with me; his personality has always rubbed me the wrong way; his treatment of Fitzgerald, who helped and encouraged Hemingway's career, struck me as negative. But maybe one day, I'll overcome my resistance and be able to meet him halfway.

    • @criticalhit009

      I remember struggling to read The Sun Also Rises in high school. I think if would be fair to say his work consists of plain prose, which can make things tedious if you aren't already into stories of fishing and hunting. Would others agree?

    • @scifikoala
      @scifikoala 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think personality-wise he was an absolute ass, and while I don't think his style is the "End all be all only correct way to write" I have to admit, the dude was a damn good writer.

      I don't know if you are female, too, but I definitely felt that (like Joseph Conrad) he's a man's writer. It's hard sometimes to bridge that gap. But I found the insight into the male psyche interesting, if ofttimes baffling & maddening! 🤔

    But seriously, this is such a good video! What a fascinating man--he reminds me of Jack London in the focus on the masculine body, self reliance, and determinism. Though I wonder to what extend each author embraced the wilderness, or sought to tame it (I think its the former more for London, the latter more or Hemingway.) Excellent stuff!

    Thank you, Lindsay. As both a fan of Hem and someone who is acutely aware of his faults, I found this to be very fair. Progressives/leftists talk a lot about "toxic masculinity," but it's usually not this literal. Hemingway is very someone who was destroyed in part by his obsession with machoness and all the isolation/alienation that entails. You could say that's poetic justice, but it's also very sad and tragic.

Again, wasn't born this way, as made as much, by clever, sardonic, sarcastic priests and nuns, who used him again as an exemplar of trash, and as the given in the proof that there is no lie as heinous or as bloated or as crumbling as the simple declarative obscene sentence.

    Just finished the PBS documentary. Excellent. Such a tragic figure. But, I am convinced that most of the folks who truly move the needle in the world are rather eccentric and sometimes very broken, like Hemingway. Wracked with depression and insecurity. And then of course many head injuries, mental illness, and addiction.
    Equally fascinating, he torched so many people ... but the power of his charm kept most of them sympathetic to him.
    A very complicated person much larger than life. And his writing is often stunningly great.

      I tried to read for whom the bell tolls and every chapter I was thinking when in the heck are they gonna blow up that bridge?? Also how old is this "girl" because I'm about to puke all over this book and throw it in a dumpster fire. Turns out they don't blow it up until the very end of the book and everything in-between is insufferable. I couldn't do it either.

I would gladly read it again any time. The short stories are more like snapshots of a feeling, a moment, a personality, than a narrative. Just my impressions.
