Collected Stories

At the age of twenty-two, Ernest Hemingway wrote his first short story, Up in Michigan. Seventeen years and forty-eight titles later, he was the undisputed master of the short-story form and the leading American man of letters.

Including all of Hemingway's shorter fiction, this collection is introduced by the poet James Fenton. The stories touch on the same themes as his novels: war, love, the nature of heroism, renunciation and the writer's life. They are arranged chronologically.
