It’s Hemingway. One of the literary giants that I would never recommend but always find myself reading. My toxic literary relationship. I just wish the man would say what he means! All this illusion and focus on the “unsaid” is such a strange way to write fiction especially as a person with a background in journalism. Say it with your chest you coward!

I did enjoy Fathers and Sons though. The title story is also enjoyable.
