I reread "The sun also rises" last year, and thought it was brilliant. However, that was very early in his career. I'm generally not a big fan of Hemingway's. There are a lot better writers who the "average joe" never hears about. Actually, Hunter S. offing himself, will probably bring him some of the same kind of notoriety.
Picasso definitely got caught up in a lot of his own press, and turned out some dubious stuff (took advantage of his status). Although, I beleive he was a genius and turned out some really beautiful, thought-provoking, and important work.
Signature? What do you mean?
