Frist published in 1927, Men Witbout Women represents some of Hemingway's most important and copmelling early writing. In these fourteen stories, Hemingway begins to examine the themes that occupy his later works : the casualties of war, the often uneasy relationshin between men and women, sport and sportsmanshop. In Banal Story." Hemingway offers a lasting tribute to the famed matador Maera. "In Another Country" tells of an Itaimely 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 "Hislls Like White Elephants" is a young couple's subtle, heartwrenching discussion of abortion. Pared down. Gritty. And subtly sepressive, these stories show the young Hemingway emerging as America's finest short story writer.
