Three Stories and Ten Poems
“Illuminating…to read it is to be shocked again by the fecundity of his genius.”
Washington Post, on The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway
Originally published in 1923, Ernest Hemingway’s Three Stories and Ten Poems feature some of the expatriate’s lesser known, but still wonderful, works.
The stories and poems include:
- “Up in Michigan”
- “Out of Season”
- “My Old Man”
- “Chapter Heading”
- “Montparnasse”
- “Roosevelt”
- And more!
Originally privately published in Paris, Three Stories and Ten Poems holds an interesting history. The three stories “Up in Michigan,” “Out of Season,” and “My Old Man” were first seen in this collection, but “Up in Michigan” was banned and not considered publishable in America until 1938 because of its blatant sexuality. In addition, this original publication of the three stories is all that remains of Hemingway’s early works after his suitcase containing the originals was stolen.
“Illuminating…to read it is to be shocked again by the fecundity of his genius.”
Washington Post, on The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway
“With his distinct resonant delivery and uniquely American vocal presence, Stefan Rudnicki is well suited to narrate some of the first published words of an American master. First published privately in 1923, with a limited run of 300 copies, these works touch on the themes Hemingway would return to again and again: man vs. nature, masculinity, and the personal ravages of war. In the collection’s centerpiece, ‘My Old Man,’ Rudnicki deftly blends the innocent tone of a twelve-year-old boy, who is trying to fathom the death of his father, and the terse, straightforward style that would make Hemingway one of the most important literary figures of the twentieth century.”
