That's savage. Love Hemingway. - Zezel
He wrote with such tension. There was one short story. Just a guy home from the war heading off fishing. He wrote it with such simplicity but you could almost feel the guy screaming inside.

I don’t know much of his stuff. I should read it.
I read a book of short stories by Farley Mowat, it left me scarred for life.

Yeah man. I'm thinking it's a good time to pick up some of his stuff I still haven't read. Good pandemic reading.

He’s a peculiar writer, very macho. He’s kind of Brian Burke with a beard. There’s no big plot twists, it’s all about the idea of courage and grace under pressure. The Old Man and the Sea and A Farewell to Arms might be his best.

The woes for the Kennedy family just keep on coming. Family is cursed. - Woderwick
Well...they do have a lot of wealth and power, they're just not immortal. It's a pretty good curse. Like JFK got shot in the head, but he also got blown by Marilyn Monroe.

Armed with will and determination, and grace too..
I see what you mean. I get that sense even in the little amount I read. I have a whole bookshelf full of books, I’m dabbling in Steinbeck rn..
