Sinopsis

In "Men Without Women," Ernest Hemingway presents a poignant collection of short stories that delve into the complex themes of solitude, masculinity, and emotional detachment. Written in his characteristically terse and economical prose, Hemingway captures the dislocation and vulnerability of men who are navigating the aftermath of love, war, and personal loss. Each narrative is imbued with the author's signature understated style, reflecting his keen observations of life's frailties against the backdrop of post-World War I America, a time when traditional notions of masculinity were increasingly challenged. Ernest Hemingway, an influential figure of 20th-century literature, drew heavily from his own experiences, including his service in World War I and tumultuous relationships. These events shaped a worldview that permeates this collection; the stories often portray men who grapple with their identities and emotional clashes in a rapidly evolving society. Hemingway's exploration of alienation and the human condition is not merely a reflection of his life but resonates deeply with the societal issues of his time. "Men Without Women" is an essential read for those interested in the intricacies of human emotion and the struggles of identity. Hemingway's sharp, evocative storytelling provides a rich terrain for exploration, inviting readers to reflect on the existential dilemmas faced by men. Engaging and thought-provoking, this collection serves as a testament to Hemingway's enduring literary legacy.

    'The Lovely Lady' is a fine observation of a life - the lovely lady of the title - which thrives by sucking the life out of others. The two victims escape by a somewhat melodramatic and comical means but in the process destroy the lovely lady and form what will probably be a dull and passionless union.

    Authors are authors and we are drawn to their works because of their style, their narrative, and their characters and how each part is assembled into the arc of the whole. 
     
    But are we?  Do social conventions, or fashion or other influences decide what we read or what we listen to? 
     
    Its famously said that everyone has a story, everyone should be heard. 
     
    So, when we discover a particular author has a dark past, a difficult character, what do we do?   
     
    Europe was in the last century riven by two catastrophic world wars and a myriad of other local ones.  And like good citizens everywhere our thoughts are stilled by the word ‘Fascist’.  This word which originally meant many strands held together to make a stronger whole is now a one word response to evil and work done in its name. 
     
    In this volume our approach has been to take authors of then great renown, two of whom won the Nobel Prize, and compile a work from each which is seen in a literary context rather than in the heinous shadow of their political and social beliefs.   
     
    We are taught that authors write of their own experiences, but is that really true?  Can an author be separated from their nihilistic approach to politics and actually be a good writer who adds to our knowledge and experience rather than taint us with their reprehensible beliefs on their fellow man. 
     
    Its an ongoing argument.  Perhaps both sides are right.  Perhaps both sides are wrong.

    "Once I read the first story in Are You Happy?, I put aside everything else to savor the rest. This is a wise collection, capturing its characters swimming upstream to encounter their fates. With vivid and compassionate prose that explores the countless ways we betray and then rediscover ourselves, Lori Ostlund reminds us of the vitality of the genre." 
    —Jai Chakrabarti, author of A Play for the End of the World and A Small Sacrifice for an Enormous Happiness 
     
     
     
    Nine exquisite stories that explore class, desire, identity, and the specter of violence that looms daily over women and the LGBTQ+ community. 
     
     
     
    An aspiring veterinarian survives a plane crash and starts life over in California. A woman mourns the loss of her childhood friend's innocence and rethinks justice. A queer teacher's sense of safety in the classroom is destroyed. With settings ranging from small-town Minnesota to New Mexico, from bars and bedrooms to a furniture store and a community college, Are You Happy? casts a spotlight on people who try—and often fail—to make peace with their pasts while navigating their present relationships and notions of self. In prose that is evocative and restrained, unpredictable and masterful, Lori Ostlund offers a darkly humorous and compassionate examination of America's preoccupation with loneliness, happiness, guns, and violence.
