A beautiful portrait of extremely real characters. Hemingway’s dialogue is masterful in this, explaining complicated layers of a character through one simple conversation. Hemingway always is, but usually there is some sort of action that surrounds it. In this masterpiece almost all of the action and tension comes from the dialogue. He even nails what a conversation between hammered people sounds like. Every man has been cursed with loving a Brett Ashley once in his life, and this book perfectly explains the joy and torture that is found in that love.
