CLASSIC SHORT STORIES FROM THE MASTER OF AMERICAN FICTION First published in 1927, Men Without Women represents some of Hemingway's most important and compelling early writing. In these fourteen stories, Hemingway begins to examine the themes that would occupy his later works: the casualties of war, the often uneasy relationship between men and women, sport and sportsmanship. In "Banal Story," Hemingway offers a lasting tribute to the famed matador Maera. "In Another Country" tells of an Italian major recovering from war wounds as he mourns the untimely death of his wife. "The Killers" is the hard-edged story about two Chicago gunmen and their potential victim. Nick Adams makes an appearance in "Ten Indians," in which he is presumably betrayed by his Indian girlfriend, Prudence. And "Hills Like White Elephants" is a young couple's subtle, heartwrenching discussion of abortion. Pared down, gritty, and subtly expressive, these stories show the young Hemingway emerging as America's finest short story writer.

Reread. The Undefeated, The Killers, Hills Like White Elephants.
評分真希望哪天能寫齣海明威的英語,用詞簡單,語句簡潔,但卻不呆滯。另外,海明威的冰山理論加上不熟悉的背景(比如說鬥牛)讓人看得真是雲裏霧裏。可是單單白象似的群山就值得一看再看,看海明威的書就像看推理小說,需要動腦子。 另外那篇殺手也甚是喜歡。五星。
