Hemingway’s death was likely instantaneous, but I would imagine it was rather messy.

Who was the last great writer?

It will definitely be a few days late. I was planning on finishing it tonight, however, a few too many shots and my girlfriend sleeping over are in the way of that.
Expect it January 3rd.
Happy new years. Cheers, lads!

Is Hemingway overrated? And why did the FBI kill him?

Tell me what you like about Hemingway.

I read novel "The old man and the sea," and later "Across the river and into the trees." Some years went by, and I found copies of the collections of short stories "In Our Time" and "Men and Women" in my local library, which I read soon after.

And one thought still lingers in my mind: I don't get him. I don't feel much empathy with his characters. I don't like his prose. I don't like his stories. I feel as if I need to be an american man living in the 30s to connect with his worries.

Some stories I did like, such as "Indian Camp," "The three-day blow," "The undefeated," "Fifty Grand." But these are a few among many. And both novels I found boring, longwinded, like short stories with longer word count only for the sake of being a novel.

But both normal people and critics love him. What is so compelling about Hemingway?
