About this listen

 Before he gained wide fame as a novelist, Ernest Hemingway established his literary reputation with his short stories. Set in the varied landscapes of Spain, Africa, and the American Midwest, this definitive audio collection traces the development and maturation of Hemingway's distinct and revolutionary storytelling style -- from the plain bold language of this first story to his mastery of seamless prose that contained a spare, eloquent pathos, as well as a sense of expansive solitude. These stories showcase the singular talent of a master, the most important American writer of the twentieth century.
The Short Stories Volume III features Stacy Keach reading such favorites as: An Alpine Idyll, A Pursuit Race, Today is Friday, Banal Story, Now I Lay Me, After the Storm, A Clean, Well-lighted Place, The Light of the World, God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen, The Sea Change, A Way You'll Never Be, The Mother of the Queen, One Reader Writes, Homage to Switzerland, A Day's Wait, A Natural History of the Dead, Wine of Wyoming, The Gambler, The Nun, and the Radio, and Fathers and Sons.

There were 3/4 later stories that I could have done without. "Wine of Wyoming" was a lot of fuss over nothing. In "A way you'll never be" his description of the battlefields are gut wrenching, especially knowing they were taken from his own life experience. Lord, how do you sleep with all that in your memory? Stacy Keach is an excellent narrator. I know a gentleman called Robert Garrett who is possibly comparable. I stumbled into Robert when I did the auditions for my own audio book. "Rough Ground". The music was suicidal. The production company appear to have plenty of money, so why pick on this dirge? I only know Hemingway from his writing and so have no knowledge of his personal views on homosexuality and antisemitism. His choice of certain words I find offensive. I definitely would not accept them from a modern writer. My next Hemingway was to have been "The sun also rises". The critics rate it as his best work, but readers are not that keen, so I will reconsider. A note to C. O'keefe. I admire your tenacity in writing your review, well done, awesome. If anyone would like to share their thoughts occasionally I'm on 3rdpersonPOV@gmail.com

Stories were average. Narration was excellent.
