Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling and authoritative reading of Hemingway's final collection of short stories Written in 1933 and one of Hemingway's lesser-known books, Winner Take Nothing was his third and final collection of short stories. These stories are about loners and losers and misfits and ne'er-do-wells. Its characters are ill, tortured, maligned, and frustrated by Hemingway's world. Like the characters it depicts, Winner Take Nothing is likewise a misfit in Hemingway's career, a volume of short stories that, as of this writing, is not even in print. Its more popular predecessors, In Our Time (1925) and Men without Women (1927), are held up as iconic collections in the American short story tradition. The grotesqueries of these 14 stories are outcasts in Hemingway's corpus and have been neglected virtually from the beginning. Editors Cirino and Vandagriff recover an underrated work that still reflects contemporary concerns. Through line-by-line annotations and accompanying commentary, this book weaves together the biographical, historical, and cultural threads of one of Hemingway's more overlooked works, thus providing much needed guidance for Hemingway scholars and general readers alike. Included in this Collection: Introduction--Mark Cirino and Susan Vandagriff "After the Storm"--Kirk Curnutt "A Clean Well-Lighted Place"--Alberto Lena "The Light of the World"--Bryan Giemza "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen"--Suzanne del Gizzo "The Sea Change"--Carl Eby "A Way You'll Never Be"--Mark Cirino "The Mother of a Queen"--Krista Quesenberry "One Reader Writes"--Robert W.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 1948, Ernest Hemingway made his first extended visit to Italy in thirty years. His reacquaintance with Venice, a city he loved, provided the inspiration for Across the River and into the Trees, the story of Richard Cantwell, a war-ravaged American colonel stationed in Italy at the close of the Second World War, and his love for a young Italian countess. A poignant, bittersweet homage to love that overpowers reason, to the resilience of the human spirit, and to the worldweary beauty and majesty of Venice, Across the River and into the Trees stands as Hemingway's statement of defiance in response to the great dehumanizing atrocities of the Second World War. Hemingway's last full-length novel published in his lifetime, it moved John O'Hara in The New York Times Book Review to call him “the most important author since Shakespeare.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this novel, Hemingway is at his most allusive and opaque, and Cirino unpacks Hemingway's vaunted iceberg theory, in which the majority of a text's substance remains submerged, unspoken, and invisible. Hemingway makes constant references to his own life, friends, and families; other artistic works; the history, politics, and culture of Venice and America; and he draws from his more celebrated works of fiction. Cirino traces the complex web that left many of the novel's readers confused. In Across the River and into the Trees, the classic Hemingway themes emerge: the soldier after the war and the function of love amid the bloody twentieth century. We learn about the conflicting roles of the soldier and the artist in society and the way a man can struggle to be human and humane to those around him. Reading Hemingway's Across the River and into the Trees is the premier work devoted to the novel.

Book excerpt: 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, heart-wrenching discussion of abortion. Pared down, gritty, and subtly expressive, these stories show the young Hemingway emerging as America's finest short story writer.
