The Old Man and The Sea by Ernest Hemingway
Another installment of ONE STAR REVIEWS for Ernest Hemingway’s THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA.
i had to read this for english class a few years back…yuck. this was probably one of the most boring, simple books i’ve ever read…i realize hemingway writes very simply but jeez….here’s the plot…this old man goes out into the sea with a dinky little boat….he fishes…and fishes…and fishes…and fishes…then some sharks come..he fights them..they come again…and again…and eat what he has caught…and then….here’s the climax…he goes home…Zzzzzzzz
An LA Times portrait of comedic actor Zach Galifianakis bears a striking resemblance to a famous Yousuf Karsh photograph of Ernest Hemingway.
Follow this link to see the photo. When asked about the resemblance, Galifianakis replied: “To Mariel Hemingway, maybe. Not the other one.” In the tweet posted above, writer Edward Champion already predicts Galifianakis could play Hemingway in a movie.
He has plenty of competition. Last summer, Charles Bicht was crowned as the “29th Papa” in the Hemingway Look-Alike Contest. This annual event pits bearded men in a competition celebrating the Nobel Prize winner.
