Is \u201cHills Like White Elephants\u201d Hemingway\u2019s greatest short story ever, or only his most famous? \xa0
Bolstering the case for \u201cHills Like White Elephants\u201d as the G.O.A.T., esteemed scholar Russ Pottle joins us to explain the story\u2019s composition, imagery, historical and biographical contexts, and unforgettable dialogue.
Pottle helps us read between the lines in the ways Hemingway characterizes Jig and the American through their dialogue and their silence, and through their actions. We figure out exactly how one can wait \u201creasonably\u201d for a train, and what Hemingway means by the ambiguous ending when Jig says she \u201cfeels fine.\u201d And would you please please please please please please please listen for a special guest appearance from old friend Miriam Mandel? \xa0
