The Cannibalism book sounds interesting to me! I just put myself on the wait list for a kindle version from my library. There are dozens of us!

I really love this book, but have to say that I never actually try to delve too deeply into the meaning or characters. To me, Hemingway’s prose is at its best in this novel, and I really just like being along for the ride, traveling from bars to rivers to bullfights with a bunch of people I’m not sure I really like, but they’re great to have on vacation.

Edit - a word

Try r/whatisthisbook. Good luck!

I think the last part that starts “as they days tuned to weeks…” is ok but the rest is sort of stream of consciousness with too many ideas going on. They need a short hook to get people invested and a very brief understanding of what’s to come.

I think you’re onto something. ($80 in 1920s money to today is about $1,230- still great price for waterfront!)
