A compelling and authoritative reading of Hemingway's final
collection of short storiesWritten in 1933 and one of Hemingway's
lesser-known books, Winner Take Nothing was his third and final
collection of short stories. These stories are about loners and
losers and misfits and ne'er-do-wells. Its characters are ill,
tortured, maligned, and frustrated by Hemingway's world. Like the
characters it depicts, Winner Take Nothing is likewise a misfit in
Hemingway's career, a volume of short stories that, as of this
writing, is not even in print. Its more popular predecessors, In
Our Time (1925) and Men without Women (1927),are held up as iconic
collections in the American short story tradition. The
grotesqueries of these 14 stories are outcasts in Hemingway's
corpus and have been neglected virtually from the beginning.
Editors Cirino and Vandagriff recover an underrated work that still
reflects contemporary concerns. Through line-by-line annotations
and accompanying commentary, this book weaves together the
biographical, historical, and cultural threads of one of
Hemingway's more overlooked works, thus providing much needed
guidance for Hemingway scholars and general readers alike. Included
