Dear Mistalina,
How deeply I share your feelings at the sniffy way so many
of the list members appear to dismiss Hemingway. But it
does explain a great deal. It explains their taste for meretricious
mysticism, their enslavement to correctness, their tin ears.
At least we know that in the early days, when he was *really*
writing, before he went to seed, before, as you might say,
he started to disappear up his own literary ass, JD was in just
as much awe of the bearded old joker as you or I.
