Documentary--Hemingway the Writer--a bit too much exposition--I'd rather read the stories myself--like I don't like

to take "guided tours" in art museums--I like to go to the sections I like most--like French Impressionism or Asian Art and go to the paintings or ceramics myself, and make up my own mind.
That said, I like the short stories, edited post-humously by his sons--I bought this at Pirates Alley in New Orleans and yes, the Indian story I will remember always--like Paul Bowles' the Delicate Prey
