Earnest Hemmingway, 1952

This is like a short version of Moby Dick. I greatly enjoyed reading it, though it is very sad and at times, painful. Speaking of pain, the old man knew he lived "because of the pain". I feel that.

I know this is a risky opinion, but I think this Hemmingway guy has a future in writing. :D
