Ernest Hemingway: "Camping Out" 1920

[MarkinLondon]

I ran across this while gathering some material for a journalism class that I teach at the local University. It seems as though Papa wrote a piece about camping for the Toronto Daily Star in 1920 that contains an interesting take on cooking Trout. I must say that after reading it I desperately wanted to grab my flyrod.

Enjoy

The final line says it all!
A good little read that and, as a Hemingway fan, I am amazed that I have not read it before!
I am not a fan of eating fish - but that pie sounds good

That pie does sound good, eh?

I had to laugh when I read the last but one sentence. I'm just glad that you're not a French man

That was very good. he gets it simply and succintly

(Unlike `Death in the Afternoon` where he is determined to write the bull to death.)

I always cite Hemingway as an example of a great prose stylist, taut yet elegant. A great writer, sadly oyt of fashion in literary circles now.
