Not to be missed., 2007-09-05
Hemingway is deservedly world famous and illiterates like the previous reviewer will never change that. He was never as brave as he made out, never as drunk or licentious as he would have us believe, but he believed wholeheartedly in the value of writing and dedicated his life to the art. Perhaps an even better short story writer than a novelist. He is a "man's writer" and all men could gain from him.
Still Papa, 1999-07-21
This book is admittingly not the best of Hemingway's, but it captures the pinnacle of his writing style and gift for description and leaves the reader feeling as if they were watching the tales on screen or actually experiencing them and makes them realize that this is a must-have for any collection of Hemingway works. Notice that I summarized this in one sentence........just read it.
Book Without Goodness, 1999-06-11
The stories in this book leave the reader with no doubt that they are reading Hemingway, but the collection is rather unremarkable. Typical Hemingway strengths, including strong and descriptive writing of places and things, are present. But I found the stories themselves to be weak.
Men Without Women = the Garden of Eden?, 2008-03-11
Hemmingway was 'a man's writer', yes, but the manliness, when its dark pasages are probed, is seen to be something of a front. A very different side to the man revealed itself in the post-humously published Garden of Eden, and speculations over the reasons behind his 1961 suicide are of a very 'unmanly' nature.
Still, you would be hard-presed to find any of this 'unmanliness' in this collection (except maybe for the title) - simple, rugged stories of fishing and hunting and the like. Hemmingway was one of the best short story writers and this collection is pretty much flawless.
