Ernest Hemingway would out drink, out spit, poetry slam this guy to death with his bare hands.
Hemmingway didn’t do any of the things he said he did- or rather, paid people to take him there and show him things. He certainly wasn’t a skilled hunter, and he’ll was a merely adequate writer.
Which is why all the good bits were shadow written
Which, I can’t really disagree with your statement. Tuberville is that useless, after all.
I've seen and heard nothing about Hemingway having a shadow writer? He was certainly a drunk and not entirely a good person, even for his time.
Never heard that about Hemingway, but I have heard that about Tennessee Williams. Maybe they're confusing the two?
Wait until you find out who shakespear’s shadow writer was.
It’s actually historically very common. Most of the “classics” had them.
Where do u get this nonsense ? There’s no hard evidence for ghost writer theory and not much evidence at all.
Scholars have said such a theory is highly improbable
Did Hemmingway write 100% accurate biographical accounts of his experiences? No. He was a fiction writer who self promoted and built a brand.
To each is own. I'm not a huge fan, but he's hardly the first writer to build his own ethos.
