Yeah, he was a dick and a liar.
His "service" in WWI was a rather intense couple of days and he did watch a lot of bull fights. I think he took up fishing so he could tell "fish stories" where an inch equals a foot.
He sounds like someone I would never have had two conversations with.

He ruined Sherwood Anderson’s career after Anderson helped him start his.
He was likely a latent homosexual given all the compensation.

Hemmingway wrote great short stories. His novels were not that good. If you talked like that to his face he would have punched you both.

I had to read the whole thing.
Here's an abridged version.
He was an $)@. He wrote some stuff. He killed himself. He was still an $)@. His ghost is probably an $)@.
