In Our Time

September 21, 2016 by Drew

The Short Version: Featuring several stories following protagonist Nick Adams as well as a grab-bag of standalone stories, many of which revolve around the war and returning home, Ernest Hemingway burst onto the scene with this startling, slim collection in 1925. The Review: I’m in a waning phase of short stories right now and I think Hemingway’s first collection – 1925, his first major publication – might be the thing that tells me to keep away from them for a […]

A Farewell to Arms

August 26, 2016 by Drew

The Short Version: After an American ambulance driver fighting for the Italians in World War One is wounded, he falls for an English nurse in hospital. As the war begins to take a turn for the worse, their relationship develops into something serious – and so the two struggle to support their love in the face of a bleak wartime reality. The Review: It’s fitting that I am somewhat of two minds about this novel – because the novel is, […]

To Have and Have Not

July 1, 2016 by Drew

The Short Version: Harry Morgan is a boat captain forced to take on some less-than-savory clientele on the run between Key West and Cuba in order to keep himself and his family afloat in the years following the Great Depression. But after one job goes bad, Harry finds his life spiralling down into potentially inescapable depths… The Review: It shouldn’t be surprising, I guess, that Ernest Hemingway wrote a sort of proto-noir, proto-thriller. If anyone in the Western canon was […]

The Old Man and the Sea

April 27, 2016 by Drew

The Short Version: An old fisherman, down on his luck after a string of 85 days without a catch, sets out to sea again with the aim of catching a big fish. But when he snags a giant marlin, a battle begins that will take him to the edge of his abilities. The Review: What is there to say about this book that hasn’t already been said? It is a perfect novella. It feels handmade, in the way that the best […]

The Sun Also Rises

February 26, 2016 by Drew

The Short Version: Jake Barnes and a group of expats in Paris, including Lady Brett Ashley (the woman he loves), tumble around Paris in the mid 1920s before taking a trip south into Spain for the summer. They arrive in Pamplona just in time for the Fiesta de San Fermin, where Brett falls for a bullfighter and several friendships are ruined. The Review: Here we are, headed into the halfway stretch of The Ten Year Catch-Up project. Hard to believe, frankly – […]

A Moveable Feast

May 27, 2011 by Drew

The Short Version: Ernest Hemingway’s memoir of his time spent in Paris, featuring stories both of writing and of meeting and living with other literary lights of his generation. The Review: I’m a little embarrassed to say that this is my first experience with Hemingway.  I know, right?  Somehow, he (and Faulkner – they are, for some reason, associated in my mind) fell through the cracks in all of the many literature courses I’ve taken.  That’s what they say about lit […]
