I read The Sun Also Rises and I hated it.

"The Old Man and the Sea" - April 2016

So I didn't now The Old Man and the Sea was so short, but I read it and kinda hated it. I guess at the time the style was very new, but I find it dated. I will try another Hemingway, but I have read some of his recommended reading and hated all of them. Definitely aimed at a certain male audience. Just not for me.

About this

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American novelist, short-story writer, and journalist. His economical and understated style—which included his iceberg theory—had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his adventurous lifestyle and public image brought him admiration from later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and he was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature. He published seven novels, six short-story collections, and two nonfiction works. Three of his novels, four short-story collections, and three nonfiction works were published posthumously. Many of his works are considered classics of American literature.
