Hemingway influenced [[American]] literature<ref>[http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/books/1999/hemingway/stories/nagel/]</ref>. He helped popularize a style of writing that featured plain language, short sentences, and clean, sparse prose. His writing frequently focused on American expatriates living in [[Europe]] or [[Africa]]. Leading characters are often very masculine, somewhat alcoholic, and suffering from mental scars, but they are always in control of themselves. These characters are believed to be based on Hemingway himself.

In 2011, 50 years after his suicide, it was revealed that Hemingway had been the subject of an FBI investigation, as placed by [[J. Edgar Hoover]]. <ref>[http://vault.fbi.gov/Ernest%20Hemingway%20/Ernest%20Hemingway%20Part%201%20of%203/view FBI-Ernest Hemingway]</ref>. Hemingway, who had shown signs of paranoia for some time, aroused Hoover’s suspicion due to his activities in [[Cuba]].
