eat shit and review

there’s always more hours in a rainy day

how can time be the enemy when all it does is pitter-patters then splatters away?

vagabond, wanderer and bohmeian…

because i know how artistic it is to use these words and be a pasty teen girl that posts photos of herself in generic hipster attire smoking durries that doesn’t conform to the rules of society.

fiesta: the sun also rises

yes this is my first book review and its rainy outside and i have work so i feel like shit. so without and further distraction here is my book review. alright so basically ‘the sun also rises’ is about ex-pats living in paris living in the 1920’s which also coincides with the hemingway’s real life. this is really no coincidence considering most of heminways work was to some extent semi-autobiographical. the main character jake, is a journalist in paris with a war injury that basically leaves him impotent. jake, is in love with brett, a free spirited, beautiful but aging woman. brett throughout the novel says she reciprocates these feelings but knows it wouldn’t work (during my first read i assumed it was because or jakes impotency, which in turn raises the question i guess of the importance of sex in a relationship). throughout the novel brett has a fling with jakes jewish friend robert cohn, who becomes i guess you could say possesive or obssesed with brett. the second chapter then sees jake meeting up with his friend bill to go fishing in spain and to see the bull fights. the next 50 pages of the novel basically just deal with the groups relationships going to shit, heavy drinking and bull-fighting. after some big ordeals which consist of robert punching jake, and mike (bretts fiancee) and brett running off with a 19 year old matador, the group gradually leave spain and have to deal with the aftermath. one thing leads to another and brett telegrams jake telling him to see her, he finds her in a shitty motel with no money. she explains to him that shes going back to mike. they then drive off thinking about how things could’ve been between them. to be honest i just couldn’t see what all the fuss was about. i mean sure i liked the characters, storyline was cool with all the heavy drinking and brett being a hot older woman but through the first read i just didn’t understand why its considered one of hemingways ‘best’. but reading it again i saw the novel from a whole new perspective. firstly i love hemingways writing style, short, sharp and direct. i tend to stay away from classic writers like austen and bronte (when university allows me) for exactly that reason. i do not give a shit about what an orange bowl looks like so why would i read 3 pages on what an orange bowl looks like, smells like and feels like. also for a relativley short novel there is a lot of depth in the main characters more some than others but overall hemingway feels like you actually know them, and i guess towards the end of the novel you start to feel i dunno bad because you know its ending, and you know there will be no ‘real’ resolution and i guess as unleashthis.tumblr said in his review of the book it leaves you wanting more. and thats exactly what the novel does. umm all this of course is speaking fairly broadly about this novel of course there is beautiful symbolisim and images that hemingway creates (without really relying on flowy languages or creative adjectives) my favourite being jake and bills fishing trip halfway through the novel, he just seems to have this way of making things so realistic and beautiful without really using to many words and i think that is something you see in TSAR and hemingway in general. if youre thinking of reading this book i suggest reading some of hemingway’s other work (specifically ‘the old man and the sea’ or ‘the snows of killimanjaro’ which are my favourites) just because lets face it, not everyone enjoys hemingways writing style, some just find it dull or unimaginitive for a better word, and TSAR in many parts does consist of alot of ‘i did that, then we did this, then went over there’ type of thing. but in general i liked it, scoring it i’d give it an eight and just some advice if you read through it and didn’t enjoy it, just to read through it again, i dont know why but i seem to comprehend things better the second time around. if you’ve got any questions or ideas about TSAR that are for essays or just out of plain discussion feel free to bring them up. and yes i cant be bothered using capitals and im to lazy to fix any grammatical or punctual mistake

fastest way to a girls heart will always, always, be through the rib cage.
