I think that the Hemingway heritage is more strictly focused
on minimalization of style and
"distanciation", influencing a lot of writers who more or
less are using a behaviorist writing in their novels. On the
other hand, his often exaggerated stand proclaiming and
supporting a "life of action(s)" - and that kind of views he
often developed in his novels- is now obsolete, I
think.
Conrad's views and feelings on the human condition, to
the contrary, are universal.
************* The essence of Hemingway escapes you. The
dominant theme that runs through all of Hemingway's work is
grace under pressure, a theme that is every bit as relevant
and universal as anything Conrad did.
You did allude to something I agree with. Conrad wrote about
the human condition. Hemingway wrote about humans.
