Men Without Women
ByPublisher Description
From a Nobel Prize laureate and “a master craftsman” of short fiction, comes this collection of some of his most famous stories (The New York Times).
First published in 1927, Men Without Women deals with war, bullfighting, and the often-fraught relationships between men and women, subjects Ernest Hemingway returned to again and again throughout his writing career. With such critically acclaimed classics as “Hills Like White Elephants,” “In Another Country,” and “The Killers,” this collection solidifies Hemingway as one of the most influential American writers of the twentieth century.
“Painfully good—no one can deny their brilliance.” —The Nation

Report
“I picked up Hemingway’s Men Without Women to compare it with Murakami’s book of the same name. Murakami’s stories had their moments, but a lot of his characters felt almost maniacal—obsessed, desperate, and, honestly, kind of pathetic. Most of them spent the entire story pining over a woman who had left them, with no real arc beyond that. And just when it felt like something might happen, the story would end abruptly, leaving things hanging without any real resolution.
Hemingway, on the other hand, felt more grounded. His characters weren’t exactly happy, but their loneliness had a quiet dignity to it. They carried their losses without drowning in them. His prose was sharp, stripped down, letting the silences speak for themselves. Between the two, Hemingway’s take on solitude and masculinity felt far more real—and far more compelling.”Cami

“4.5
This was quite an odd collection for me. I wasn't interested in most of the subject matter but I still was super engaged. I found myself completely connected to most of the stories and unable to put the book down at many points even if I didn't really care about the topics. Such beautiful writing while still being quite economical with the language. Gorgeous, very happy I got to it!”
