Hemingway app, huh? It will gauge your writing’s proximity to Papa’s, but you’ll never have the soul for the actual sentiment. The good part is you won’t be an anti-Semitic drunk with suicidal tendencies. The bad part is that you’ll miss out on writing things like this… <\/p>\n

In his recently published book of letters, he ends one of his typically rambling and sarcastic rants, ‘Yours in Christian Science, Mother Eddy’. Genius!<\/p>\n

Of course, how about this line from the story The Killers<\/em>: ‘I got them tied up like a couple of girl friends in the convent’. Only Hem!<\/p>\n

Then the coup d’ grace<\/em>, the closing sentence from A Very Short Story<\/em>: ‘A short time after he contracted gonorrhea from a sales girl in a loop department store while riding in a taxicab through Lincoln Park’. Come on now!<\/p>\n

And you know all about his fondness for racing in Paris, written about in the belles-lettres memoir A Moveable Feast<\/em>, in the entry titled ‘The End of An Avocation’: ‘It was gambling on horses. But we called it racing…. to make it profitable was more than a full-time job and I had no time for that’.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Sir. We wait for the computers to come up with collections of words like yours.<\/p>\n
