A Clean, Well-Lighted Place

A title of a wonderful story by Ernest Hemingway, whose short stories * I love but haven't read in many years.

A description of the jetBlue [I believe that's how they write it] terminal at John F. Kennedy Airport.

Tschuss!

* Is it true that Papa wrote this six-word, tragic story?

"For sale. Baby shoes. Never used."

Did you know there is also a bookstore in SF called A Clean Well Lighted Place for Books?

I did not. Oh well, next time, Deo volente.

Gratias!

I heard he wrote it but I'm not sure. I am sure, however, of the fact that I love that short story and Hemingway's writing in general. Thanks for sharing

When I said "that short story," I meant A Clean, Well-Lighted Place. Have you read The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber? I think it was in the collection Winner Take Nothing, which is also the book from which I read Clean..Place. Very good.

Michael T,
I believe I did read that story. Could they be in the collection "The Snows of Kilimanjaro"?
