Rated: Clean

This week we discussed Gerald’s favorite author, Hemingway. Gerald wasn’t shy about his fanboy love for Hemingway and this story, particularly the sections that flash back to wars and living among the common people. Maya enjoyed the story over all, but was troubled by the poorly drawn female character. The hosts debate how Hemingway could have shown a more human female character which staying in the male narrator’s point of view. When it came to descriptions and theme, Anais liked the theme of fraud and imposter syndrome. Rammy liked the scenes between the couple on safari, but took some issue with some “explicit” content in the narrator’s past, which utterly confused the other hosts who didn’t find the story explicit at all! So what was (or was not) explicit? Tune in to find out.

Also, don’t forget to rate the story! For the history of our goofy system, see Anais’ post “Read Short Stories or Ray Bradbury Cries.” On a scale of 1-6 Bradberries, how do you this story? Tell us in the comments below or via voicemail.
