Describe earnest Hemingway as a great novelist of the twentieth century
Answers
Hemingway's first widely available collection of stories was 1925's "In Our Time" (1925), and it changed American short story writing forever. Hemingway honed his famously minimalist style as a foreign correspondent in Paris, and his writing on war in "The Sun Also Rises" and "For Whom The Bell Tolls" made him a worldwide celebrity. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature "The Old Man And The Sea."
F. Scott Fitzgerald died at just 44 years old, and never achieved the same literary success as his sometime friend and rival Ernest—yet many argue "The Great Gatsby" is the greatest American novel ever written. Hemingway said Fitzgerald's "talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings." He's now known for being the prime chronicler of the Jazz Age, and for his critique of the American Dream.
