Since A FAREWELL TO ARMS is an obvious influence I can't shake for what I'm now writing (and since a friend recently found it and gave me huge compliments on my analysis, in which I pointed out that Hem was a lot more sensitive and nowhere nearly as macho in this novel as his critics have suggested), what the hell, I'm reupping my 2019 essay.

John Steinbeck may be my favorite novelist but Hemingway obviously did some fantastic work, too.

“The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.” - Ernest Hemingway from “A Farewell To Arms.”

I revisited Frank Borzage’s #AFarewellToArms (1932) on the anniversary of #ArmisticeDay.

It’s one of the era's most idealistic depictions of romantic love, intermingled with the heartbreaking reality of violence and war.
