Winner Take Nothing
Ernest Hemingway
Paperback.
Written when Hemingway was at the height of his creative powers, the stories in Winner Take Nothing glow with the mark of his unique talent.
Hunters, wives, old men of wisdom, waiters, fighters, women loved, women lost: they all are here, living on the raw edge, making love, facing the inevitable reality of death.
The characters, the dialogue, the settings, the remarkable insight could have come only from Hemingway's imagination. As am introduction to his work, or as am overview of the themes he developed at greater length in his novels, it is a stunningly successful collection.
