I read that Mena Suvari is currently filming the movie version of Hemmingway's novel "The Garden of Eden". For those who have not read the book, it is a story about a newlywed couple. The wife cuts, and bleaches her hair in the novel. In the book, the female heroine cutting her hair is symbolic of her metamorphosis, and is very up front in the story. If you are a short hair fan, I recommend the book highly. So, she cut her hair for a movie role. |

| Don't want to be petty, but there is just one "m" in Hemingway. After all, the guy is an American classic and it's worth getting it right. Actually, I am a great admirer of Hemingway and I can assure our readers that there are more important reasons for reading his books than watching out for short haircuts on his heroines (after all, he was writing during periods when women often did have short hair). A classic American story that does revolve almost entirely around a haircut would be "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" by Scott Fitzgerald. Still (and as they say)...that is quite another story! |

Right you are fat...HeMingway has written several of my favorite books, "For Whom The Bell Tolls", "The Old Man and the Sea", "Sun Also Rises". Even so, I'm still more of a Steinbeck guy myself....
Where "Garden of Eden" falls within Hemingway's works is unclear. The novel was not quite finished when he died. Of all of his books actually, "Garden of Eden" is nowhere near my favorite. Not a bad book, but my earlier "review" was more in the context of those who love short hair. He does go to extreme lengths to describe the haircuts, and haircutting. I definately think he had a fetish for women with short hair .

I read "The Garden of Eden" and from what I recall, the haircuts, taking her step by step from long hair to quite short, were quite prominent in the story, each reprenting a step in the woman's transformation from everyday wife to....well, liking other women.
By the way, Fatmoogas, if you're going to chastise a fellow poster (and rightly so) for Hemingway error, don't forget to put the "F" in F. Scott Fitzgerald... :-) ------------- Your hair is your best accessory; wear it with STYLE! |

I referred to F. Scott Fitzgerald as "Scott Fitzgerald" in the same way that I might refer to William Shakespeare as "Shakespeare". Life is short, but what you DO write should be correct.
By the way Curly, when you wrote "reprenting" did you mean "representing"? Of course, this IS rather silly...but if you want to insist on exactitude! I guess we won't be able to say "New York" anymore but only "New York City" I won't be able to refer to you as "Curly" but only "Curlyfan". Do you get my drift...? Actually, there is a tendency in Hemingway's novels for his heroines to have short hair cuts...but so what? That's not why people read them (not MOST people anyhow). As for "The Garden of Eden" it is poor fare for those Hemingway enthusiasts brought up on more classic novels like "A Farewell to Arms", "The Sun Also Rises" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls". I doubt the film version will do anything to enhance Mena Suvari's somewhat stalled career. |

| Maybe as a young poster with all of 38 posts to your credit (plus already a warning too I believe!) you might think about examining your own methods of communication. |
