Hemingway’s definition may be out of date – brutish and toxic –¬ but it does offer us a starting point to ask ourselves the same questions. Here, I believe, he explores the themes that dominated much of his life, what defines a man? Still relevant today. This writing style disarmed me, unexpected but immediately likeable. Almost brutishly simple yet evocative with an underlying sensitivity and sympathy for his protagonists and the scenes he describes. I was surprised at how accessible his writing was. This was my first time reading Hemingway, I had always wanted to but had been put off by the reputation of this literary great.
This collection offers vignettes of life, snippets fleetingly seen as though we were travelling through the scenes of the stories. First published in 1927, Men Without Women is a collection of short stories by Ernest Hemingway.
