This review is from: Hemingway's Short Stories (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)

I purchased this to help understand Hemingway's In Our Time which I jumped into cold.

This is a useful guide. It does cover several of the stories in the collection I was reading although it does not comment on the overall significance of this specific collection.

Included are a biographical essay, lists of characters, story commentaries and a Hemingway bibliography.
