I prefer them to his longer fiction. His Two-Hearted River stories are really good.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-54131911810004445182010-11-04T14:47:45.085-07:002010-11-04T14:47:45.085-07:00Like Heather I've yet to read any Hemingway, a...Like Heather I've yet to read any Hemingway, and somehow it hadn't occurred to me that his short stories might be a good way to find out if I'd like him.

He is a useful stylist (though his homophobic and anti-Semitic tendencies come out if you read enough of him! GRR!). But a short story is always good. Actually, post-Halloween, I think of short stories as "fun size."<br /><br />Thanks for posting the link!Clea Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10810838253598050028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-28436451202496103522010-11-04T08:16:10.158-07:002010-11-04T08:16:10.158-07:00I absolutely love Hemingway.

I read quite a bunch of his work over the summer in preparation for heading to Key West in July -- every year they have the world famous Hemingway Look Alike contest which my father has been in the finals three years in a row. It's one of the must fun events to attend, and especially in Key West since Hemingway lived there for a little while. His home there is fun to visit with all the stuff in it. I took a few pictures and reviewed a few of his books over on my blog -- my favorite was The Old Man and the Sea. Without question. I cried. I admit it.Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-36720664428533457132010-11-04T06:12:53.627-07:002010-11-04T06:12:53.627-07:00You know, I have never read anything by Hemingway....You know, I have never read anything by Hemingway. My son recently read The Old Man and the Sea for English class, but I have not yet picked anything up. Maybe I will have to try this short story.
