I take a close look at the first part of Hemingway's masterful story, "Big Two-Hearted River," that ends the collection, In Our Time, reflecting on the way the story ties together many earlier stories from the collection and again focuses on the power of artistic understanding to help contend with complex human emotion.

In this episode I take a deep dive into "Soldier's Home," Hemingway's complex look at PTSD, likely derived from his own experiences of being wounded in WWI, and suddenly being back home in Oak Park.

In this story, which Hemingway was not allowed to include in the collection In Our Time due to its subject matter, date rape, we find a story in a kind of dialogue with "Cat in the Rain" and "The End of Something," and the continued development of the theme of women as artists in the collection.   Have a look at my writing on Substack at ⁠HERE⁠. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/arnold-sabatelli/support

This nightmarish story offers readers a way to think about what lies at the heart of human violence, underscoring the essential need for Jungian balance between the "Anima" and "Animus."  Have a look at my writing on Substack at ⁠HERE⁠. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/arnold-sabatelli/support

A close look at Hemingway's "A Cat in the Rain," also from In Our Time.  Here we find one of the most emphatic examples of a character awakening to the power of artistic expression.   Have a look at my writing on Substack at ⁠HERE⁠. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/arnold-sabatelli/support

For this episode, I take a close look at "The End of Something" from Hemingway's first major work of fiction, In Our Time.  This story bears a range of striking similarities to "Hills Like White Elephants," so listening to Episode 1 will help, though isn't necessary.   I see this story as a cautionary tale about the dangers of looking for short-term, "fun" responses to our relationships rather than embracing the more complex and more rewarding deep relationships with each other and with the world.   Have a look at my writing on Substack at ⁠HERE⁠. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/arnold-sabatelli/support

For my inaugural podcast on the works of Ernest Hemingway, I will analyze one of his most often anthologized stories, "Hills Like White Elephants."  Working from a close look at point of view, I explore the way the story helps us to think deeply about how art helps us to express and more fully comprehend complex human emotions.   Have a look at my writing on Substack at ⁠HERE⁠. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/arnold-sabatelli/support
