Hi,
I am curious to know what women who have read Ernest Hemingways books think of his style, writing, etc. as his books are very masculine oriented and typically on the topics of men and their struggles. I recently started reading The Old Man And The Sea and as I was reading it, the thought occurred to me that I really couldn’t imagine a woman relating to what was being said on the page.
So I’m curious, female readers who have read his books…do you relate to much of what its saying? What do you think of his books?
Sorry if this sounds naive/obtuse, that is not my intention.
yeah I get it’s a thing now to shit on Hemingway for the dude being so masculine (and misognystic ? I don’t actually know) but like, I could read The Bell Jar just fine and I didn’t share nearly anything w the author/mc but could relate to the feelings of ennui even if it was obvi very gendered
