: I've always wanted to make the pont that up until the time he wrote this
: I don't belive that Hemingway ever "hunted a man,"
: either in anger or in war. He goes on the say in the article that
: once you hunt something big, e.g., an elephant, hunting something
: smaller is not as satisfying. And that for himself, once he started
: fishing for marlin in the Gulf Stream, no other type of fishing
: was quite as good.
: Thanks

I wonder about Hemingway. In a way, he's a minimalist, i.e., in the way he writes "simply" without all the characters and events that complicate a story. Pjk mentions Malraux, farther down in this message board. Malraux complicated things, but Hemingway does not. Yet, here we have Pjk pointing out that Hemingway was easily disatisfied, once he had hunted an elephant or fished for a marlin. It seems he was always going for the big symbol, the thing that would represent it all, whether in a brief, beautiful short story, or in the big animal that he hunted or fished. I guess, where I have my reservations is in Hemingway's "monumentalism", i.e., he seems to have worshipped the "big", the big elephant, the big marlin. The Big Experience. I wonder if he really ever knew the quiet at the center of his being. Zak
