Even romantic trips often become an excuse for him to drink heavily. While Hemingway empathically described and criticized the "Mesmerized Generation" for their pursuit of pleasure and empty souls, he also gave deep sympathy and understanding to their generation, and hoped that the world could take this as a lesson and look to the future.
