What is Ernest Hemingway known for?
I wrote stories. Novels. About people. About what they did. What they faced. War, love, loss. It’s about truth. What’s real. The prose has to be clean. Like a good blade. It has to cut clean. Get to the bone. Avoid the fancy words. The lies. Like in war. Or love gone bad. You show it. You don’t talk about it. You let the reader feel it. That’s the work. The rest is talk.
