"Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know."

Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American novelist, short-story writer and journalist. Best known for an economical, understated style that significantly influenced later 20th-century writers, he is often romanticized for his adventurous lifestyle and outspoken and blunt public image. 

Born: 21 July 1899, Oak Park, Illinois, United States

Died: 2 July 1961 (age 61 years), Ketchum, Idaho, United States

War Veteran: Hemingway served as an ambulance driver in Italy during World War I. He was wounded in action, an experience that deeply influenced his writing, particularly his novel "A Farewell to Arms," which is partly based on his wartime experiences.

Literary Icon: Hemingway is considered one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. His minimalist writing style, characterized by short, declarative sentences and understated emotion, revolutionized modern literature. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954 for his "masterpieces" which "shimmer with a unique style."

Adventure and Travel: Hemingway was known for his adventurous spirit and love of travel. He often sought out dangerous or exotic locales for his writing and personal pursuits, such as bullfighting in Spain, big-game hunting in Africa, and fishing in Cuba. His experiences in these settings often found their way into his stories and novels.

The Old Man and the Sea: One of Hemingway's most famous works is the novella "The Old Man and the Sea," published in 1952. It tells the story of an ageing Cuban fisherman, Santiago, who engages in an epic struggle with a giant marlin far out at sea. The novella won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 and contributed to Hemingway receiving the Nobel Prize.

Personal Life and Demise: Hemingway led a tumultuous personal life marked by marriages, divorces, and struggles with mental health. He was married four times and had three sons. Sadly, Hemingway also battled depression and alcoholism throughout his life. He tragically took his own life in 1961 at the age of 61, leaving behind a legacy of literary brilliance and enduring influence.

"The networked society, with its information overload and constant connectivity, is changing what it means to be human. The proliferation of cameras makes everything performative, putting us continually on display while making us cripplingly self-conscious. The constant curated drip-feed of our community’s highlight reel leaves us feeling inadequate and dissatisfied with the regular, humdrum details of our daily lives. Exposure to massive networks of near-strangers leaves us feeling insecure, unsteady, vaguely defensive and often outright aggressive. The Candy House, the spiritual successor and loose sequel to Jennifer Egan’s rock ‘n roll novel A Visit from the Goon Squad – winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the National Book Critics Award – is a funhouse mirror distortion of our current world told from a vaguely dystopian near-future that is all too recognizable while still being entertainingly far-out and imaginative." Happy book release day to @jennifereganwriter, whose wonderful The Candy House (@scribnerbooks) came out today in paperback. Its one of my favourite books of the past few years.

Recommended if you are looking for a Literary Novel. The Age of Innocence is a 1920 novel by American author Edith Wharton. It was her twelfth novel and was initially serialized in 1920 in four parts, in the magazine Pictorial Review. Later that year, it was released as a book by D. Appleton & Company. It won the 1921 "Pulitzer Prize" for Fiction, making Wharton the first woman to win the prize. Though the committee had initially agreed to give the award to Sinclair Lewis for Main Street, the judges, in rejecting his book on political grounds, "established Wharton as the American 'First Lady of Letters'. The story is set in the 1870s, in upper-class, "Gilded-Age" New York City. "The Age of Innocence" illustrated by "Edith Wharton" Follow the link in Bio if you are willing to parches the book. #fictonbooks #illustrsted #literaryfiction #Edith-Wharton #pulitzerprize https://www.instagram.com/p/CcdzPebonv3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
