I’m a huge Hemingway fan, have been since I was a teenager and read The Sun Also Rises (nice cuckolding story, stupid) and his collections of short stories. As a Floridian by birth, I thought it was very cool that this guy lived in my state and appreciated the wildlife, enjoyed fishing, etc. (I know, I’m a fag)
I think the fact Patrick tries to play himself off as some Hemingway type is infuriating. Hemingway, for all his follies, wrote about real life and his own experiences. He drank too much and was a fucking crybaby sometimes over women. It happens to us all.
But he wasn’t a coward. When shit went down in Spain during the Civil War, he went over there himself to cover it and ended up putting himself in some dangerous situations. Sure, he exploited it, you could say, by writing For Whom the Bell Tolls, but at least he went over there and covered the conflict as a journalist (his original profession). He did the same in WW2.
Patrick, by contrast, tweets from his couch and writes bullshit fantasy novels. Space Chili’s, Firstname Lastname, Captain Susan Kamala, Fonald Plump. Do I need to say more? I’ve not read his nonsensical books, but I would guess there is almost no confrontation of the human experience (happiness, pain, love, sorrow) in them. It’s all scripted NPC nonsense that means nothing when you look between the lines. He thinks this makes him an author, but it doesn’t. He’s just a fool who now lives to be laughed at and mocked.
Like I said, Hemingway had a lotta fawkin’ problems. Guy blew his brains out in a beautiful Idaho house that he owned. I think that’s a coward’s way out. He also overdid it on how drinking and probably ruined a lot of great times in his life by being a drunk. Same for Hunter S. Thompson. But at least they got off their asses for things they believed in and contributed to humanity.

having to force myself through three of Fatrick's books... Believe me Hemmingway, blackout drunk on rum could write better than Fatrick could at his 'best'. His sort of 'light hearted' novel with the FN/LN character is worse than the worst Rick and Morty fan fiction. Seriously 'Shrimply Pibbles' or 'Squanchy' is miles better than his dreck.
