When I was in England, the English did not regard Hemingway as an accomplished writer. They even thought that Hardy's "Under the Greenwood Tree" was superior. I believe I understand why, since after reading "The Sun Also Rises", I see that Hemingway uses a rather simple vocabulary and does not go out of his way to describe things with any sort of ornate or complex words. How can such a person get such a glittering reputation, some would say the best reputation of any 20th century American writer?

Dante didn't get to pick his guide. Virgil just appeared to him at Beatrice's behest. If you had to retrace his steps in "The Inferno" (that's really the only one I am interested in), who would you pick as your guide and companion? Virgil was considered a righteous pagan, but you can choose anyone you want, as long as it's someone famous.

Please explain briefly why you would like the person you pick to be your guide, and how you think he or she would benefit you in your visit through Hell.

Thanks!

I'm writing a short story just for fun and practice. It takes place in Ancient Egypt and its about a man named Mastaba who builds tombs for the wealthy whom he charges an outrageous fee and then proceeds to loot the tomb the night after the funeral. This paragraph is from the part where he is at the funeral of one of his clients and he remarks about the rich people who he hates. I showed it to someone and they said it was in bad taste to write about sex and death. What do you think? I’m also considering dropping some of the bigger words.

They don’t mourn the loss of the dead but the brevity of their own limited mortalities. In their selfishness they wish to preserve their own lives but even they, as brainless as they are, realize it to be a futile effort. So if they cannot save their own lives they believe they can at least create new life. The women cry their lustful lamentations and the men coo and coddle them in their misplaced ardor. Then they look upon the dead with selfish sensibility and reflect on the celibate eternity he is forced to endure. A funeral Mastaba concluded was merely a generator for mournful copulation. Who knew death would prove to be such a powerful aphrodisiac?

Thanks!!

I couldn't get through it and my friends are railing me about it. I just thought it was boring, you know, for a pulpy Stephen King novel. Am I alone?

Preordained, her time is always.

There is a run-way for taking off and landing
And run-way lights
Are always lit for Virus.

And Virus is always poised for Death.

She reptiles herself.
She slinks, sleeps, slurs.
She wakes up heavy-lidded.

Her Serpent tongue tastes the air for the food obsession.

The mice of mind.

The fear that tastes so good.

The comfort of profound self-knowledge.

Preordained
Virus speeds through her Host.

Virus speeds through her vehicle for death.
