Blog Entry #4 - Pages 79-110 (Chapter's 10-14)
This week's reading seemed to focus on the numerous acquaintances that Hemingway had. There were several instances throughout the reading's that Hemingway would have conversations with old writing friends. I got the sense that this was a time that might have troubled him because all of the interactions with old friends talked about how Hemingway and his family were still struggling with money, while his friends had been doing well and had found success.
The goodbye with Mrs. Stein was just simply odd. I was left wanting to know what the problem was. Not one of my favorite moments in this book honestly.
My attention was grabbed for a slight moment when Walsh was telling Hemingway about how he had won the award but turns out, like Hemingway suspected, Walsh was simply conning him and there was nothing to the supposed award.
I am looking forward to next week's readings!!
