Ernest Hemingway because of his support of the Spanish Civil War. Your second quote from the "The Sun Also Rises" was a great clue.
Here's a link from Remembering Spain: Hemingway's Civil War Eulogy and the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Remembering+Spain%3a+Hemingway%27s+Civil+War+Eulogy+and+the+Veterans+of...-a016871321

Could this have anything to do with a trilogy of books titled The Marriage of Miss Jane Austin by Collins Hemingway?

Anita scored this one. Well done! (Scored this one? ... she seems to score more than her fair share)
And that's a very interesting link to criticism of Hemingway.
As for that quote from the book The Sun Also Rises (the quote about Lincoln), I admit to being confused as to what Hemingway was conveying when he wrote it. I assume that the man who says it in the book is drunk and making an attempt at humour. My Book Club will be discussing the book this week.
Gene, I thought your answer was an attempt at humour but then I see your thinking.
