The style is Hemingway for sure, but some of the content is a bit of a departure from his other works. I often had flashbacks of reading Gioia Diliberto's biography of Hemingway's first wife, Hadley, while reading this novel. I wrote a post about it that you can read here-- http://wildmoobooks.blogspot.com/2010/12/garden-of-eden-by-ernest-hemingway.html ( ) Once you get over the strangeness of the story, The Garden of Eden provides a literary dose of the kind that only Hemingway could provide. Those sentences, imperishably lucid and inimitable (though many have tried to imitate), that autobiographical haze hanging over everything, and that uncanny ability to make even the banal sound fascinatingly essential. It is far from his best, and even by Hemingway standards it is low on plot, but Hemingway's prose is always enriching in a way that is impossible to describe with any pragmatism. He remains precise, even in a posthumous manuscript, which is testament to his enduring craftsmanship. Hemingway might be unfashionable nowadays, but so is good architecture. QUIRKY. That's what comes to mind when I read this book. The characters are more like case studies. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what the point of the book was, but then I realized it is just to enjoy its in depth characters at its finest! There wasn't really a plot-line, its kind of a lazy read if you know what I mean.
"As a novel, however, its merits are dubious: the writing [...] is frequently synthetic and contrived; the characters, sketchily defined; the story-line, by turns static and abruptly melodramatic." ". . . to be able to list the discrete excellences of a book is to say also it falls short of realization. . . . it is bad Hemingway, a threadbare working of the theme of a boy's initiation rites . . ." "A lean, sensuous narrative ... taut, chic, and strangely contemporary." "A miracle, a fresh slant on the old magic." "Hemingway's farewell, mannered, thrilling, spoiled, pure, loyal to its monumental maker and itself and with no knowledge of coming darkness."
