WRITING STYLE

He learned how to "get the most from the least, how to prune language how to multiply intensities, and how to tell nothing but the truth in a way that allowed for telling more than the truth."

The style is known as the “Iceberg Theory” because in Hemingway's writing the hard facts float above water; the supporting structure, complete with symbolism, operates out-of-sight

Hemingway believed the writer could describe one thing though an entirely different thing occurs below the surface
