A Farewell to Arms.

My Hemingway festival is over, I just finished “A Farewell to Arms” (# 74, in the list).  I think I preferred “The Sun Also Rises”.  There were moments in “Farewell” which I really liked, but the macho thing that Can mentioned was a bit over the top and made Lt. Henry seem a bit one dimensional.

I did like the exchange with Count Greffi in Switzerland and aside from being very sad, I thought the ending of the book showed a sensibility that put some of the posturing in it’s place.

That’s it for the Hemingway in the list, so moving along.
