'''Ernest Hemingway''' (1899β1961) was an American novelist and short-story writer. In discussions of ranking metaphors online he is frequently cited for the [[Iceberg theory]] (theory of omission), which uses an iceberg's hidden mass as an analogy for deliberately unstated meaning in prose. ==Relevance here== Hemingway's craft metaphor is a literary precursor image, not the origin of the [[Iceberg chart|internet iceberg chart]] format. See [[Iceberg theory]] for the distinction. ==See also== * [[Iceberg theory]] * [[Tip of the iceberg]] ==Sources== * Standard literary biographies; Hemingway, ''Death in the Afternoon'' (1932).
