Thinking About Hemingway

Reading A Farewel To Arms recently, I started thinking about Hemingway the man and his relation to the stories he wrote.

The stories would seemingly concern themselves with decay which most associate with the fall or winter but I always read these in the spring as it brings me closer to the Michigan forests and Spanish cafes of the book.

His short story collection also helps me to understand the expression "hide in plain sight" as it seems to me that that was what Hemingway was doing in these stories.

Scratch a little on the surface of the hunting expeditions and you may find the wounded boy underneath.
