Men Without Women was a milestone in Hemingway's career. Fiesta had already established him as a novelist of exceptional power,but with these short stories,his second collection,he showed that it is possible,within the space of a few pages,to recreate a scene with absolute truth,bringing to life details observed only by the eye of a uniquely gifted artist. Hemingway's men are bullfighters and boxers,hired hands and hard drinkers,gangsters and gunmen. Each of their stories deals with masculine toughness unsoftened by woman's hand. Incisive,hard-edged,pared down to the bare minimum,they are classic Hemingway territory - they helped establish him as one of the great literary authors of the twentieth century,and one of the best American authors of all time.
