Answer 2

I'm not a Hemingway expert. Is this one specific work, or is it his writing in general?

Answer 3

in all

Answer 4

Give me a sec to consult the mighty google...

Answer 5

Actually a good question. I love Hemingway's style. Describe it as minimalist or simply or simple Hemingway's machismo style, it allows the reader to react to the text with his/her own emotions. Unlike, for example, romance novels where your a given a full set of clues as to when to cry or feel warm and fuzzy, Hemingway leaves the emotions up to you. Literature without the "APPLAUSE" sign. Reading the book as opposed to seeing the movie.

^This is what I got from one source. So, surrealistic and flowery are likely out of the picture. Let me see if I can eliminate some more...

Answer 6

Hemingway was a good writer, so I'd think that "stilted" dialogue wouldn't be present.

Answer 7

However, I'm sort of generalizing Hemingway's writing style, not necessarily his dialogue. So, this might not be 100% accurate, however, it is reasonable to assume that the two remaining answers would be applicable.
