Memo: How/what confusion.
How I think about Hemingway is with my brain (and small and overworked it is).
What I think about him is that Hemingway was a brilliant writer, making every single word count. Nothing in his work is placed without much careful consideration. He is credited with advising young writers, "Never mistake movement for action".
Hemingway himself had some issues, and, sadly, he shot himself. But, his house in Key West still stands, and it's graceful without being pretentious. The grounds are populated with the descendants of his cats.

Hemingway was a great short story writer.
His novels -- well -- to me they are like long short stories. They are pre-Shakespearean in the sense that the protagonist stays the same through the story and the events change his fate rather than him.
Hemingway very successfully carried the journalistic Kipling style into the twentieth century. But for that era, I would pick Sinclair Lewis or John Steinbeck or even Nathanael West as novelists.

I liked Hemingway when I read him years ago. It seems he practically defined "masculinity" for a generation of men, and yet he had the courage to write about a man who had been emasculated by the war. Takes guts, that.

I never really liked Hemingway, so I think of him as little as possible.

I think about Hemingway with my brain but if you are asking WHAT I think about him, well, I think he was one of the greatest writers of his time.

Yeah, he is a great writer and his best ever is the Old man and the Sea, the story is short & sweet.

I think his work is much more enduring, compare to many "classic" authors.
