Ha! Robert! What great fun! And what great ...Ha! Ha! Robert! What great fun! And what great typers! Wish I could have been there! And thanks for mentioning me, Olivers, and my views on Hemingway. Reading a Hemingway novel is a lot like watching the U.S. TV show Seinfeld. It’s about nothing. … But, at least Seinfeld was funny. People do enjoy the _Old Man and the Sea_ and that was a masterpiece, but it wasn’t written by Hemingway, but by A.E. Hotchner!! Just look at how different the style is from his piece before that, _Across the River and into the Trees_, or a real bore like, _The Sun Also Rises_ and his WWI drunk-fest, _A Farewell to Arms_. I’ll have more to say about all that in an upcoming Tlog. Hemingway’s third wife, Martha Gellhorn, called him a “mythomaniac” which is a nice way of saying “liar.” Even Hotchner, his friend of his last 15 years and biographer said he couldn’t tell where the truth ended and the stories began. But, I look forward to getting the real typed letters and for sure I will answer them. My address appears on both the Tlog and my new fountain pen blog, or “plog” entitled, “Plogger!” Martin A.
