"By 1956, Ernest Hemingway was in a free fall. Once transformative and captivating, his short, simple staccato style that remade American writing decades before had gone stale. It was now emulated by numerous authors. Lost in a literary rut, he became a caricature of his super-macho characters. He dodged sniper's bullets in France, chased wild animals in Africa and tried to outrun fame. That summer, Hemingway found inspiration for his fiction in his adventures years earlier as a correspondent in World War II. He wrote five short stories about the war, he told his publisher, with a stipulation: "You can always publish them after I'm dead."…."

Hemingway writes! And his main character is--Hemingway! What a surprise. It got worse with age. But his later obsession with telling lies about himself shouldn't keep us from remembering how good he was at his best. "The Undefeated" "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" and "Night Before Battle" are not worse stories because after a while he couldn't write like that any more. |
