I love Hemingway’s descriptions of travel and the relaxing tone he can hit, but I found every last person in the book to be insufferable, especially once the antisemitism really got going when they got to Spain.
Graphic: Antisemitism and Racial slurs
Minor: Racism
There is usage of the N-slur, the K-slur, and a mention of anti-Catholic sentiment with a joke about wanting to join the KKK.
