Hills Like White Elephants, Indian Camp and The Killers are my favorite short stories by Hemingway. 😊

CoveredInRust HLWE and TK are awesome and this is coming from someone who doesn't like most short stories. 😃 8y
utterKATEness Oh man, Hills Like White Elephants is just fantastic! 8y
tea_stankovic @CoveredInRust @utterKATEness I really like these stories by Hemingway, but my favorite short story is The Wait by Jorge Luis Borges 😃 8y
utterKATEness @tea.stankovic I've got a book of essays by Borges that I've been working my way through but I've never read his short stories, you've piqued my interest, though. I'll have to check that one out! 8y
tea_stankovic @utterKATEness If you like The Stranger, you'll probably like this one too 😃 8y
