"He has never been known to use a word that might send a reader to a dictionary."
- William Faulkner about Hemingway
"Does he really think big emotions come from big words?"
- Ernest Hemingway about Faulkner
Different strokes for different folks. ☺
Faulkner's run-on sentences and flowery language is a snozefest. I prefer Hemingway's work and reread it often for inspiration.
I'm a Hemingway fan as well.
As one who writes in my second language, I appreciate strong writing sans big words 🤗
I agree, MIrka.
Give a hoot.
