Quote by Leslie Fiedler
Hemingway seems to be in a funny position. People nowadays can't identify with him closely as a member of their own generation, and he isn't yet historical.
Summary
This quote suggests that Ernest Hemingway, the author, is in a strange position. He is not relatable to the current generation, as they perceive him as distant from their own experiences. However, he is also not considered a historical figure yet, which implies that his work is not widely recognized as a significant part of history. This observation reflects the challenges of Hemingway's legacy, keeping him in an uncategorizable space between present and past.
