A Week in Literary History

July 21st, 2002

Hemingway lived just long enough to parody himself and call into question his undeniable gifts, which would never have been challenged if he had stopped writing after The Sun Also Rises, In Our Time, A Farewell to Arms, and the wonderful short stories. It’s not his fault that those who copied him couldn’t do it as well as he could. An imperishable master.
