Karl Stern’s darkest moments in pop culture series continues.
Ernest Hemingway literally changed the entire genre of popular literature. Preceded by the flowery and verbose language of the previous era, Hemingway wrote in a more straightforward style, often holding back and allowing silence of action to speak loudly in a story.
His novels are still read and reviewed in virtually every schoolroom in the United States.
