bailedI recommend this novel to 3 groups. 1: Battle-scarred 51yo American Army colonels with hot 18yo Italian girlfriends. 2: Hot 18yo Italian women who have 51yo battle-scarred American Army colonel boyfriends. 3: Duck hunters. I am none of these, so I‘ll be DNF‘ing at the halfway mark.
“That was the day before yesterday.” Hemingway starts chapter three with this sentence. And I think it sums up his succinct, to-the-point, no fluff writing. I kinda wish more people wrote this way. Oh, and this book is so good. I‘ve read a lot of Hemingway, but never this one. I‘ve been missing out! It‘s phenomenally simple and complex. Per usual. #hemmingway
I do like Hemingway 's unfancy prose. This is set in Italy, at the close of WW2, an older man and younger woman.
panOne thing of taking pictures of the books you read is that you can be sure you've read them. Otherwise I wouldn't have remembered I read this one. Still no clue what is was about however...
