What is The Hemingway Affect? Do you think literature today is still indebted to his style? Who do you think does it well, or poorly?

When I read
All the Pretty Horses recently, I thought the McCarthy's novel was
basically a re-working of . The connection is in the hero type (a person of
great abilities, of extra-national sensitivities, of romance, of self-possession, and of
quietude).

There are connections in story type as well, though the actual
prose style is not especially similar.
