>>24540435 (OP)drinkin and concussions and fame destroyed hemingway. The more he drank, the more he got hit in his head and the more famous (untouchable) he got the worse his books were. It's perfectly encapsulated in his female characters which got shittier as time went on. How someone who wrote Up in Michigan could've written shit like For Whom Bell Tolls and it's shitty dialogues is beyond me. Of course by the time he wrote Old Man and the Sea he was "Pablo" and did not include any female characters and wrote about fishing and completely forgot to write about life. By which I mean Hemingway in Old Man and the Sea became complete parody of himself and forgot why he wrote the way he wrote in his short stories, Sun Also Rises and Farewell to Arms. And I do not want to sound like retarded "feminist" redditor obsessed with female characters, women make shitty characters, but they are simple, materialistic in their romantism and so on, and Hemingway could write them - in fact Hemingway wrote them as if he himself was teenage girl - that much did he understand the pretty petty female irrational rationality. Somewhere before WW2 Ernest Hemingway the man with heart in his chest, brains in his head and cock between his legs stopped using those things when writing and became Ernest Hemingway the writer superstar about to get Nobel Prize - completely out of touch with real existence and instead of using his cock, brains and heart to write he started to use his ass and as such could do nothing but put shit on the paper and blindly believe it's masterclass writing. He thought he is Robert Jordan, but he was Pablo, but Pablo knew he is Pablo, Hemingway did not.
