Contribution
His style of writing shaped the 20^th century and he still influences writers today. He took American prose to a place it had never been. Not just to the bullrings of Pamplona and the safari camps of Kenya, but to a pared-down, elegant style that condensed paragraphs of unspoken knowledge into a single sentence that said it all.
