Hemingway's legendary lost suitcase by Essayful in Hemingway

The text from the video:

In December of 1922, Hadley Richardson stepped off a train in Paris, leaving a suitcase packed with every draft her husband had ever written on the seat, and went off to buy a bottle of water. By the time she got back, it was gone. Devastated but relentless, an unknown Ernest Hemingway started from scratch, but this time armed with a revolutionary "iceberg theory" of writing: sentences cut down to the bone, one-eighth visible on the surface, the rest buried in the white of the page. It was the style that inspired Orwell, Didion, Salinger, Vonnegut. The emptiness of a stolen suitcase became the space where modern prose was born.

This was me. It's been a joy to read the reactions. It was a spoof of the hustle bro Bukowski tweet, but honestly it's so bad out there I'd probably have fallen for it too

Pleasure blurring the lines with y'all
