Here's a provocative statement to consider while looking at Hemingway's stories: as a writer of short fiction, he's much better than as a novelist. I find it difficult to read his novels.

I've only read his Old Man and the Sea short novel but I can imagine what you're saying as being quite possible. Some reviews of Old Man and the Sea say he really drug it out unnecessarily and the same story could have been more effective much shorter.

That's the one that I liked--the Old Man and the Sea. I was nuts about fishing as a kid, anyway. I was so sad when the "Old Man" returned to the dock and found that his great marlin was all chewed up by other fish. I read some of Vladimir Nabokov's comments on writers. He couldn't take Hemingway, except for the "fish story." So I felt I was in good company.
