The First Forty-Nine Stories by Ernest Hemingway

2.0

Got this mainly for the boxing story "Fifty Grand", which was excellent. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of the 'nothing happens' variety of short story that make up 90% of this book. Sure, Hemingway's spare prose might be good, but when it services inconsequential tales filled with faint characters, there's just not much to enjoy.
