Ernest Hemingway’s landmark short story of a veteran’s solo fishing trip in Michigan’s rugged Upper Peninsula, featuring a revelatory foreword by John N. Maclean.
“A century since its publication in the collection In Our Time, “Big Two-Hearted River” has helped shape language and literature in America and across the globe, and its magnetic pull continues to draw readers, writers, and critics. The story is the best early example of Ernest Hemingway’s now-familiar writing style: short sentences, punchy nouns and verbs, few adjectives and adverbs, and a seductive cadence. Easy to imitate, difficult to match. The subject matter of the story has inspired generations of writers to believe that fly fishing can be literature. More than any of his stories, it depends on his ‘iceberg theory’ of literature, the notion that leaving essential parts of a story unsaid, the underwater portion of the iceberg, adds to its power. Taken in context with his other work, it marks Hemingway’s passage from boyish writer to accomplished author: nothing big came before it, novels and stories poured out after it.”—from the foreword by John N. Maclean

Hemingway went the lemming way. But he was a good writer, if a painfully contradictory man in love with his own guile and a masculine fantasy of the self which positioned “Manhood” as a forever escaping quality that only certain people could access and which we were all rendered cowards in our falling short.

Oh brother. Manga nerd explaining to us the foremost influence in all of literature of the last century. Thank you so much for your generosity in admitting Hemingway was at least good enough for three of your stars. Congratulations on managing to not outright say “patriarchy.”

I think @toadmanga made some good points and, rather than try to belittle him as you do, you could probably be a little less of a dick @bpvalentine.
Here are two stars for this book just because I don’t care that much about it and I think that Hemingway is overrated and facile.

I must commend you, bpvalentine, for your eloquently articulated response. Aficionados of manga may harbor any opinion they wish regarding one of mankind’s most seminal authors. Oh, apologies for the slip; ‘mankind’ was the word of choice, but let’s be inclusive, shall we? ‘Humankind’ it is—embracing the collective spirit with a touch more grace.
Here are five stars for this book just because I care that much about it and I think that Hemingway is underrated and profound.
