Hemingway clearly should have written more gay porn, this is honestly good shit from a technical standpoint
It’s very funny that Hemingway has the reputation of being a man’s man bro misogynist writer, when actually he was a fancy lad who was always in crisis about his own masculinity.
Also, read his final, posthumously published book, The Garden of Eden if you want some good gender stuff. It’s about a couple on their honeymoon that start dressing androgenously and trying to become the same person, and it’s very strongly implied that the guy is getting pegged by his wife. It caused a major critical reappraisal of Hemingway when it was published

Not mutually exclusive
I mentioned this in my other comment, but there’s a metric ton of evidence that Ernest Hemingway was definitely some variety of transgender.
“Men writing women” you’re outta here. We’re doing “Hemingway writing Fitzgerald” now.
"Men unsure of their sexuality writing men to whom they may be attracted " doesn’t flow quite as smoothly
“A face between pretty and handsome” makes me think of guts x griffith
I wish I was between Guts and Griffith
To stop them from fighting, right?
