Ernest Hemingway's macho letter to F. Scott Fitzgerald

[GrandWino]

Story with letter printed here.

He makes Ron Swanson sound like Richard Simmons. My favorite bit:

To me heaven would be a big bull ring with me holding two barrera seats and a trout stream outside that no one else was allowed to fish in and two lovely houses in the town; one where I would have my wife and children and be monogamous and love them truly and well and the other where I would have my nine beautiful mistresses on 9 different floors and one house would be fitted up with special copies of the Dial printed on soft tissue and kept in the toilets on every floor and in the other house we would use the American Mercury and the New Republic.*

Hemmingway’s idea of heaven includes *soft *toilet paper?

Pussy.

His all-meat diet gave him hemorrhoids.
