"You're not some kind of punk blend of Charles Bukowski and Ernest Hemminway; you're Rob, the 36-year-old chef at a Steak and Shake."
"it's all written in this horrendous dollar store hemingway prose"
"Hemingway's Men without Women has nothing on the sordid portrayal of a WoW streamer cooking his microwaved potato and discount steak"
"You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains"
"L-R Yukio Mishima, Tennessee Williams, Patricia Highsmith, Françoise Sagan, Charles Bukowski, Ursula Le Guin, Margaret Atwood, Angela Carter, Edward Gorey, Doris Lessing, Williams.S.Burroughs, Ernest Hemingway, Haruki Murakami"
"My expectations for myself are thus: I'm not trying to be Faulkner, or Austen, or Hemingway, etc. I just wanna tell an entertaining story, and I will do so under a pen name, because I prefer a life of anonymity."
"Something about the combination of Kafka, Dostoyevsky, Camus and Kierkegaard is usually an indicator. They also tend to really covet books as objects/commodities and have surface level ways of dismissing authors which they've never read (Freud bad, Hemingway misogynist, etc)."
"Maybe it's a case of Hemingway-y 'portray something honestly and it'll always have depth' type of thing. But I don't think it's purposeful in any way."
"He did not need a girl. The army had taught him that. It was all right to pose as though you had to have a girl. Nearly everybody did that. But it wasn't true. You did not need a girl. That was the funny thing."
"Hemingway would be a redpill masculinity grifter recording videos in his garage with sunglasses, a cap, and an American flag behind him. He would self-mythologize and exaggerate his experience in the Iraq war to appear more macho"
"to live the 2021 girl version of the Hemingway lifestyle. Would be great to meet some people from this sub over there."
"I spent a small fortune to go to a city I honestly haven't spent that much time thinking about. I still don't know why I did it. I was reading Hemingway and feeling sorry for myself and realized I needed something to look forward to."
"being totally blown away by the vitality of Hemingway's writing. Like the descriptions of food, wine, the women etc."
