    I want to meet one of these people IRL so I can tell them that Hemingway is the GOAT author.

      Only if you do it in a single stream-of-consciousness run-on sentence with awkward splices and no pausing for breath because commas are revisionist and sentences that span six pages are the only way to convey the depths of your alcoholic stupor.

      I, for one, choose to believe that the fish in The Old Man and the Sea was a metaphor for Hemingway's liver.

        The Old man and the Sea was a nonfiction about Hemingway hunting Nazi U-boats with grenades.

        It's been like 15 years since I've actually read Hemingway. I thought his sentences were generally shorter than most authors.

        hemingway maintained that he never wrote drunk. he'd work from 5am to noon and then get blasted.

        he also didn't really do run-on sentences and "commas are revisionist" sounds nothing like what hemingway would say
