For the same reason Hemingway, Tolstoy and Faulkner write differently. The original text is only applicable when both are viewed positively. Your sentence applies when it's the less crappy of two options.
- notfromhere 9y agoI wouldn't compare the work of Hemingway, Tolstoy, or Faulkner to that sentence.
- chongli 9y agoSeriously. That's like comparing a Picasso, a van Gogh, or a da Vinci to something you find on a bathroom stall in some dive bar.
- toomuchtodo 9y agoUnless it's Banksy's art in that bathroom stall.
- hyperbovine 9y agoIn which case it would be long gone anyways
- tresp 9y agoHemingway's style is much more simple than Tolstoy - no doubt he would decry the flowery, unnecessary language of the KP partner. Can't speak for Faulkner but this guy is trying to emulate Dostoevsky
