Rushdie vs. Hemingway Salman Rushdie and Ernest Hemingway both write with very different styles. In Haroun and the Sea of Stories, Rushdie writes with a great deal of details, forcing the reader to see exactly what Rushdie is imagining. He uses that and foreshadowing to put together his creative story together.

Comparatively, Hemingway isn’t nearly as descriptive as Rushdie is.

Noel Gallagher voiced his frustration in an article in the guardian, stating that “read fiction is a waste of f***ing time” and that he only takes interest in factual books, in which things “have actually happened”. He points out how it is often difficult to suspend belief in something fictional, often reverting to thinking as he puts it, “This isn’t f***ing true”. Although Gallagher’s argument may appear rather blunt, it does raise an important point about ‘snobbery’ from people who feel comfortable with words, looking down upon those who aren’t. We must remember however that Noel Gallagher is a song writer himself, so naturally he writes his own fictions in his songs, which like reading, are just another medium of expressing emotion and creative ideas.
