Having said that, I do think it is a gripping story, and I like Hemingway’s (mostly) plain style of writing.

I can't/don't want to get past the specific elements that make up the story. I can't be gripped by a story like this because I'm too busy feeling disgusted, sickened, and angry. I can't appreciate writing that romanticizes something I find abhorrent.
