Hemingway clearly should have written more gay porn, this is honestly good shit from a technical standpoint
It’s very funny that Hemingway has the reputation of being a man’s man bro misogynist writer, when actually he was a fancy lad who was always in crisis about his own masculinity.
Also, read his final, posthumously published book, The Garden of Eden if you want some good gender stuff. It’s about a couple on their honeymoon that start dressing androgenously and trying to become the same person, and it’s very strongly implied that the guy is getting pegged by his wife. It caused a major critical reappraisal of Hemingway when it was published

I mentioned this in my other comment, but there’s a metric ton of evidence that Ernest Hemingway was definitely some variety of transgender.
Before we start: I am using the term “transgender” in its most common meaning here, i.e. as an umbrella term for all kinds of gender variance.
I agree if we’re going with the broad definition above. Certainly there was GENDER stuff going on with him, but it’s kind of hard to pin it down more specifically than that
you should check out the rest of the article. Hemingway also had a trans daughter and regularly confided in her that they were “from the same tribe”. I’m pretty comfortable calling it as a trans person, but everyone is going to draw their own conclusion.
“Men writing women” you’re outta here. We’re doing “Hemingway writing Fitzgerald” now.
"Men unsure of their sexuality writing men to whom they may be attracted " doesn’t flow quite as smoothly
“A face between pretty and handsome” makes me think of guts x griffith
Hemingway could write about literally anything and make it enjoyable to read, dude was an absolute master stylistically
Death to America
