1) Paperback Book The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: The Finca Vigia Edition by Scribner. After ´falling out´ with Gertrude Stein (famous for her line ´A rose is a rose is a rose´ ala Shakespeare´s Romeo & Juliet) Hemingway sent her an unsigned telegram: ´A bitch is a bitch is a bitch.´ Highly ´accident-prone´ guy too. Pulled lamp cord thinking it was toilet flush down so hard it dropped the chandelier on his noggin & left him blin for a few weeks. In Cuba, unable to flush unwanted love-letters down toilet, used machine-gun to blast the porcelian to pieces. Weird guy.
Anyways, I´ve read all of Hemingway´s stuff (oops). Mostly interesting in his dialogue technique & the ´unbegging line.´ ´Sun Also Rises´ is his best novel (a lot of them are quite bad, esp his last ones - damn), in my expert highly modest opinion, & ´A Clean Well-Lighted Place´ his best short-story if not one of the best American short-stories of the 20th. ´Snows of Kilimanjaro´ good too, especially that bit at the beginning about the snow leopard. Not exaggerating. Had to read his short stories a few times before I picked up on everything. Iceberg thing & all that.
Brilliant dialogue, a bit anachronistic nowadays but Hem was actually a real funny guy, lots of humour in his stuff. Could do without the ´Nick´ stories, fishing, fishing, lamenting about girlfriends, more fishing. Yeah, I know it´ symbolism but damn.
For all the credit (Nobel) Hem gets for ´changing literature´ & ´inventing a new style´ all his style he ripped off from Whitman. Not from Gertrude Stein or Sherwood Anderson; well, perhaps a bit from Anderson, but all of Hemingway is contained in ´Leaves of Grass´ the repitition, the unbegging line, the stylistic tricks, cons, all of it. Re-read ´Song of Myself´ after this book then give this review a good rating. I done told you so, fool! Also check out the Fitzgerald - Hemingway letters for more info if you dig this guy.

2) Paperback Book The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: The Finca Vigia Edition by Scribner. I saw that someone complained about the soft paperback cover; it is true. If you buy the paperback, it peels and quickly begins to wear. I take great care of my books, but this cover just falls apart anyway. The paper on the inside feels like it´s made out of recycled newspaper. But, can you seriously beat this collection? Every short story that the man has ever written? It is still a great purchase.¤
