Have you read anything by John Dos Passos? If you have patience for a little experimentation, the USA Trilogy is invigorating. JDP was buds with Hemingway; he was one of the writers about whom Ernest said to himself, 'that's NOT what I'm going to write like.' Interesting history and good stories, too.
Damn fine post of one of my favorite men of all time.
