| Why it’s on the list | The stories — “Hills Like White Elephants,” “The Snows of Kilimanjaro,” “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place,” “Big Two-Hearted River” and the rest — are where Hemingway’s method is most exposed: declarative sentences, almost no interior explanation, dialogue carrying the weight, and the iceberg principle that what is left out gives the page its force. The standing argument for compression in English prose. |
