    Hemingway Or The Highway

    Looking at Ernest Hemingway and some awesome things about him.

    Ernest Hemingway is an intriguing man of American Literature, maybe the most intriguing. Recently, I embarked on a self induced study of Hemingway, reading some of his early works and some of his latter works, and researching about his life. Although his life was tumultuous, like many other great writers, riddled with marriage problems, alcohol, depression, and eventually ended in suicide, the time that the earth was blessed with his manly presence left a legacy of awesome. Here's some of that Hemingway awesome.

    Admiring his chest...

    Slapping a critic in the face with a book.

    One afternoon in 1937, Hemingway stormed into an editor's office and slapped him right across the face with a book. Hemingway was angry over a review the editor had given him claiming that his work was not genuine and like 'fake chest hair.' After the slapping, next Hemingway ripped open his shirt baring his manly chest, persuaded the book editor to do the same and went on to comment on the "comparatively hairless condition."

    So much awesome.

    He gives the best life advice..

    His works are some of the best ever. He knew how to write.

    This.

    And, he wasn't shy about giving writing advice..

    This one is not real, but it is awesome.
