Title: Clean well- lit stories
Product review: Hemingway is one of the greatest of all short - story writers. There is often a poetic beauty and clarity in his language. His apparently simple Biblically cadenced sentences are perceptually precise and focused. His stories generally have themes and create in a few lines memorable characters. Think of the old man who drinks without spilling in a 'Clean Well- Lighted Place' and who recites the "Nada y Nada' version of the "Lord's Prayer'. Or think of Krebs the soldier who comes home from the war and whose experience has estranged him completely from the sentimentalities and cliches of his family and home life. Think of Nick Adams himself the Hemingway alter ego whose innocence meets terrible experience more than one time. Hemingway is a master of close observation , a great American classic. Enjoy.
