Question: What do you think of Hemmingways style!? Any quirky features you have noticed!?

I was surprised by it, he writes very simply and repeats descriptions a lot which make them stay in your head!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hemmingway is a very natural writer!. As Steven King says, there are writers that write and there are those that don't, the story tells itself and the writer is just the vessel!. Hemmingway is one of those authors!. He writes the way his characters think, which isn't flowery or wordy but directly and descriptively!. The real irony is in the contrast between the values he writes about and those he holds himself!. For example in For Whom the Bell Tolls he talks about the weakness and abomination of suicide, but Hemmingway killed himself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ernest Hemingway is an author whom I admire very much!. I think that it is a mistake to confuse the concise precision of his method with simplicity!. His work is anything but simple, in fact!. His work contains and reveals untold depths, we are tricked into believing otherwise by the stripped down clarity of his vision!. That minimalism is where his power lies!. You may find this article interesting!. It discusses his "Iceberg Method" of writing!.

As an aside, I think that those who personalize everything in the author's work and try to imply that his suicide was somehow hypocritical because in a fictional scene he deplored suicide are doing a disservice to Hemingway, his work and to themselves as well!. A novel is not an autobiography, and even if it were it is an oversimplification to believe that a person might never be desperate enough to commit an act for which they objectively have no respect!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No "Quirky" features, per se, but I do enjoy the irony of some of his texts, such as the "suicide" incident!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
