The Nick Adams Stories Ernest Hemingway “I’ve never been a real big fan of Hemingway. But I’ve always had kind of an interest and if I’ve enjoyed anything of his it’s been his short stories. So, I picked it up and loved it. It was incredible and it was so solid and really good. “The Nick Adams Stories,” collection of short stories about this character that Hemingway kind of always had, Nick Adams, who apparently was the closest character Hemingway had to himself. So, it follows this one character through these series of short stories through his childhood growing up through being in the war, through marriage. It’s most of his young life. There’s one really short story that was just like a page and a half. And it was about I think when the character, Nick Adams is going off to war. He’s riding on a train and he had never crossed the Mississippi and he’s this kid who reads and has Mark Twain in his head and everything. It’s just a really dense little story talking about baseball, the World Series that’s going on and crossing the Mississippi River and that’s all the short story is about. And that’s all there’s room for, but it’s incredible. There’s nothing really that I didn’t like about “The Nick Adams Stories.” I’d recommend “The Nick Adams Stories” for Hemingway fans for sure. It’d give “The Nick Adams Stories” five stars. I really thought it was great and it’s going to make me go out and find more of Hemingway’s books.”
