Hemingway is capable of a near perfect style but he doesn't seem to be aware that if he just let it be, it would be sufficient. So he ruins books by having too much plot. This one in particular had, imo, (it's all imo), a butchered ending, one that turns the whole story into propaganda of sorts, a book with a thesis.
But that's just the last 10 or so pages, so still many many pages of great reading.

Dobrze się czyta.

Niestety nie mogę polecić, chyba że ktoś chce prześledzić rozwój pisarski autora (zajęcia skądinąd ciekawe).

Taka przyjemna, do przeczytania w 2-3 dni.

I really liked Hulova's “Three Plastic Rooms” - and since this book was well received in the Czech Republic, I was expecting something more than I found. The book reads OK - but I can't see much more in it. I suppose it talks about family and aging and women's relationship to men - but I couldn't say it made me think new thoughts...
