That doesn't mean I didn't try to, however, I think his writing is too dark for my tastes.

I have been working my way through a selection of John Steinbeck over the last few months, I think Hemingway should be next.<br /><br />I've looked at "The Paris Wife" several time & so many people seem to recommend it, you've encouraged me to give it a try....I saw a copy in the wonderful charity bookshop near me just last week, I might pop in tomorrow & see if it's still there. Thank you for the reminder!

I read Hemingway when I was a teenager (as I was on this mission to read every 'important' writer) and recall i) the heat he described and ii) the loss that is evoked in so much of his work. To be honest it was a bit over my head at the time, perhaps I should go back and re-read?! Good to have jogged my memory though.
