have been flicking through The Proud Highway, the first volume of his letters. A little episode that stuck out for me was a 21 year old Hunter, hoping one day to emulate his literary heroes F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, actually typing out The Great Gatsby and A Farewell to Arms in their entirety in order to understand their magic and make him a better writer.
I dunno... the man behind the myth and all that... I just found it kinda touching.
