Ernest Hemingway 1923 Passport Photo
I've just finished Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms and today started The Old Man and the Sea and I love the way Hemingway writes for two reasons:
The creativity/freedom of style which moves from third person to first and then to stream of consciousness doing away with needless punctuation; and the gentle banter of the dialog - which reads as everyday conversation and while being weighty in meaning is light on word count.
Stories which continue to haunt me in a beautiful way - What an absolute genius!
