Interesting article. I've also noticed the effect, just never seen it expressed and contextualized.
Not that it really needs any historical context and narrative flair to be useful:
Leave in-progress things at an interesting/engaging point so it's easier to continue later.
And the article pointed me to https://www.mirjamdonath.com/the-hemingway-challenge/ which lists 50 books-to-read (or 49 really) based on a bunch of Hemingway's quotes.
May do the challenge myself.
Góngora is some of the most ornate / overly florid poetry I've read in any language. Read him in Spanish if you can.
I feel that this title can be easily misinterpreted as advocating for suicide.
