Hemingway is a hack. I had a prof back in undergrad who said that "Hemingway defined the prose style of the latter half of the twentieth century and the twenty-first century." If he was correct, then we have Hemingway to blame for all the mass-produced drivel and psychic rot that pilfers contemporary bookstore shelves.

that originates from the pulp books, which themselves pretty much started with The Maltese Falcon, not Hemingway.

Then my prof was a hack and a know-nothing himself. Case in point--if his followers are such retards, what can we expect from the man himself?

Not really, you can trace most of the practices /lit/ abhors to Romanticist authors in the early 19th century. Schiller, Goethe, Stendhal and Byron, all writing in response to Enlightenment phenomenalism (in the Kantian mode typical of someone like Coleridge). The broadstrokes blame can be leveled at Rousseau, specifically.

completely false, but okay we get it, you read a lot of old shit

Why do you think it's false? I believe it to be true. Rousseau's influence on literature through Héloïse (1761) and Émile (1762) are incontrovertible, Émile specifically has influenced children's lit for centuries.
>Little Women (1869)
>What Katy Did (1872)
>Heidi (1881)
>A Little Princess (1905)
>The Secret Garden (1911)
These are fairly influential, even today when literally nobody "reads" for pleasure. I'm not interested in arguing with you, just curious as to why you think I'm wrong.

the modern style comes not from anyone you said but actually from Flaubert. And the modern 'publishing' industry of fodder literature has a direct lineage from the pulp authors which exploded onto the scene after the success of The Maltese Falcon.
You are spouting opinion, but I am offering historical fact.
We get it, you're well read. But you are incorrect about this matter no matter how many times you reply.

If you say so. If you've read Madame Bovary, you might enjoy The Odd Women (1893) by Gissing.
