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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (2 children) I've seen and heard nothing about Hemingway having a shadow writer?

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. permalink fedilink source parent
