We work hard to meet our ethical responsibility to describe our material accurately.

While a number of the stories here first appeared in publications like THE LITTLE REVIEW and THE NEW REPUBLIC, MEN WITHOUT WOMEN also includes four never before published stories: "Ten Indians" "A Pursuit Race" "Now I Lay Me" and "A Simple Enquiry," which explores a homosexual attraction between two men on the front in Italy during World War I. Fresh off the heels of THE SUN ALSO RISES (1926), MEN WITHOUT WOMEN sold out its first printing (and much of its second) within a month. Hemingway began writing stories in this collection the same year that he published his first short story collection, IN OUR TIME – but in the intervening years, his career would change dramatically. "Men Without Women may have struck you as a punk title and if it did please cable me and I'll try and work for another one." – Hemingway, letter to Maxwell Perkins, 19 February 1927
