Reason for Reading: Even though Hemingway is considered by many to be a ‘man’s man’ type of a writer, I love everything I’ve read by him, especially my all-time favourite short story, ‘Hills Like White Elephants.’
Synopsis: An old fisherman, on an eighty-four day streak of bad luck during which he’s caught nothing, finally hooks The Big One. But the man is old and the marlin is a strong and graceful foe; whose time has come to an end?
