: kwj(did I spel thet right?), : I'm not shure thet Hemingwey ever acknowledged anybody, did he? I know he bragged about bein' finally better then Tolstoy, which I doubt. Thanks fer the reminder about this site. Let's see how long it takes us t' be throwd out of this place. Hal
: : Reading Moby-, I was taken by some similiarity between it and Death in the Afternoon. : : History, legend, descriptions of bulls and bullfighting, directly addressing the reader, etc. : : Anybody know (pjk?) if EH ever mentioned melville (I'm sure he read him. I don't recall seeing this.
: : many thanks

Pjk, Ya put me t' shame. Yep, I forgot about Turgenev, Mark Twain, an' the rest. Guess I was preoccupied! Have any a you ever read Turgenev? Is he th' one rote "Sketches of a Sportsman" or "Sportsman's Sketches" or somethin' like that? I'm curious whet his writin' is like. I can see how Twain woulda influenced Hemingstein by flattening out his prose, whet I remember about Twain. You fellers and gals make me want t' go back an' red them fellars. Thar's so many too red though. Hal
