I'm always on the hunt for a great short story and a number of people spoke extremely highly of EH's "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place". Totally insignificant miss for me. Great if one thinks it is profound to be told life is meaningless.
Yes. I agree with your friend’s assessment of Hemingway. His callous treatment of the women in his life makes me think he was addicted to the first rush of attraction more than an actual relationship. (Nothing wrong with that if you are aware and honest.)
Yes, I think that would certainly cause problems. Maybe that’s why one of the two in the relationships in his books usually die before the newness of the relationship has worn off. 🙃
