What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
— Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles’ rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons...

Hemmingway didn’t do any of the things he said he did- or rather, paid people to take him there and show him things. He certainly wasn’t a skilled hunter, and he’ll was a merely adequate writer.
Which is why all the good bits were shadow written
Which, I can’t really disagree with your statement. Tuberville is that useless, after all.
I've seen and heard nothing about Hemingway having a shadow writer? He was certainly a drunk and not entirely a good person, even for his time.
Never heard that about Hemingway, but I have heard that about Tennessee Williams. Maybe they're confusing the two?
Wait until you find out who shakespear’s shadow writer was.
It’s actually historically very common. Most of the “classics” had them.
Did Hemmingway write 100% accurate biographical accounts of his experiences? No. He was a fiction writer who self promoted and built a brand.
To each is own. I'm not a huge fan, but he's hardly the first writer to build his own ethos.
