I don't love Hemingway, but I d I do appreciate that s he does certain things or did certain things well.
voice-verified
I don't think if you're a sixteen year old in any high school that you are
voice-verified
you can grasp what's actually what he's what the the why you would want to read him in the first place.
voice-verified
I would I would actually rather have
voice-verified
Instead of p portraying him as this kind of, you know, sort of
voice-verified
direct American writer, I would actually suggest Vonnegut, much more so as a literary writer as opposed to oh he's a lot of fun.
voice-verified
Because I think he I think he addresses a lot of the same issues, in my view at least that that Hemingway did.
voice-verified
I mean I think of the the short story, the Vonnegut short story, Who Am I This Time?
voice-verified
Um, which is about, you know, this man who can't
voice-verified
You know, this timid store clerk who can't communicate except when he's placed this character, when he's on, you know, in the local theater droop and he falls in love with a um a new woman fr in town who's like a telephone operator and they have these sort of they have these torrid affairs on stage in like, you know, uh uh
voice-verified
uh uh s when they play Stanley Kowalski and uh Blanch uh uh Stella in um Streetcar Named Desire.
voice-verified
So the uh the I my point is the idea that you
voice-verified
have to read Hemingway to understand what it means to be an American I think is bogus bullshit.
voice-verified
That was been kinda bogus bullshit.
voice-verified
Well but I think he I actually think he does uh how do I put this?
voice-verified
By underwriting, I think he can tell you a lot about what it means to to hold things back.
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
Which I think if you're a sixteen year old kid waiting for the bell to ring, it's time just to go home.
voice-verified
Okay, I would argue he sounds like the rich white guy drinking drinks.
voice-verified
absinthe or whatever at Parisian cafe.
