          <body><![CDATA[Not sure where the bashing is coming from.  I wholely agree that Hemingway drags every single character through the mud and that nobody is clean.  It's difficult to get connected to anyone the way you can connect with the characters in A Farewell.  But in my opinion that's the genius of the book: it's real, it's raw and all in Hemingway's vintage prose.]]></body>
