Homer, Hemingway, and Joyce

Posted on by Rob Rinne

Proteus was Homer’s ‘Old Man Of The Sea’.
Hemingway’s ‘Old Man And The Sea’ could be considered to be a counter, a foil, or an accompaniment to Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’?
I don’t think it’s ever been looked at that way before.
Hemingway did admire Joyce and how well he wrote.
Wonder if he won the Pulitzer for it thanks to Joyce’s inspiration?

I can't think of when I wasn't writing but the first story I remember creating was in Grade 6 and made from equal parts James Bond and Knight Rider. It's been a long time since then and I can't be sure my stories have gotten much better, but I keep it up because it hasn't stopped being just as fun.
