The Nick Adams Stories by Ernest Hemingway
3.0
I kind of enjoy reading Hemingway, but I've never been blown away by him.
Nice to collect all the Nick Adams stories in one place. I wish they had included year of publication, and what ss collection it came from as well. Many did come from "In Our Time" - and lack the before-story vignettes of war that are included in that volume.
And you can watch Hem's style change over the years - from being highly influenced by Sherwood Anderson, to his own. Or the great skiing story in here, which obviously imfluenced James Salter.
Ahhh, and those dirty, slothful Indians!
If you have any interest in Ernie, a must read. I am moving on now to "In Or Time" (where he claims that the stories have no connection to real life or people!!!!!) - about 100 pp of stories there which do not include Nick Adams, and all those 1 page vignettes not included here. I also want to read Peter Griffin's "Along With Youth" and Hem's own "The Sun Also Rises".
