xxx. the garden of eden, ernest hemingway
yeah, i don't know about this one. the blurb possibly oversold me on the character of catherine, who i don't find to be amazing at all. you know how many books have books within them, like when a character is a writer and is reliving the event they're writing about, or whatever, i suppose it's supposed to be insightful but sometimes it's just not interesting! do writers consider it a risk? this is completely missing the main theme of the book but it was superrr distracting and i flipped through most of it. apparently this was actually quite heavily edited prior to posthumous publication, so who knows how hemingway would have wanted it.
also i have a theory in progress which is that hemingway loves him some lithe young women with close cropped hair, based on a sample size of 2 out of 5. i have a few more to read so will update stats as appropriate.
