Om end Hemingway er mest kendt for sine romaner, anser mange hans noveller for det ypperste i hans forfatterskab. Novellerne i Kilimanjaros sne og andre noveller omfatter de noveller, der ikke tidligere har været medtaget i hans første tre novellesamlinger, og de udkom for første gang samlet i 1938 som del af antologien The Fifth Column and First Forty-Nine Stories. De er alle sammen fremragende eksempler på Hemingways helt unikke stil og betragtes i dag stadig som nogle af hans bedste værker.

First published in 1927, Men Without Women represents some of Hemingway's most important and compelling early writing. In these fourteen stories, Hemingway begins to examine the themes that would occupy his later works: the casualties of war, the often-uneasy relationship between men and women, sport and sportsmanship. Pared down, gritty, and subtly expressive, these stories show the young Hemingway emerging as America's finest writer.

Within a few years, Hemingway would become known as one of the most important voices of his generation and his stark prose—lean and brutal at times—would be imitated by generations of writers who followed him.

Big Two-Hearted River features a single protagonist, Hemingway's recurrent autobiographical character Nick Adams, whose speaking voice is heard just three times. Hemingway explores the destructive qualities of war, but he also creates a great fishing story.

As I listened to this, I couldn't help but compare Buggs and Ad to George and Lennie in Steinbeck's Mice and Men. Buggs protects Ad as George protected Lennie. Ad, though diminutive in size, as a former professional boxer could be as dangerous as Lennie when he had a crazy spell. Hemmingway portrays Buggs as the true leader of the group, highly intelligent, articulate, and gentle to his companion Ad while leading Ad to believe he is in charge.
