James, Rex. Incidentally… In : Hong Kong Sunday Herald ; March 9 (1941).
After "years of slick, slight novels and brilliant pointless short stories", Ernest Hemingway discovered politics while in Spain and finally has something to believe in. Since that time Hemingway's writing has been on the rise. "For politics has given his writing the intellectuality he had deliberately excluded and his plot the necessary objective interest which studies of punch drunk boxers and stoic matadors failed to provide. He may become a really great writer."
