ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Ernest Hemingway
(1899-1961)
Ernest Hemingway was brought up in Illinois and the wilderness of the Great Lakes region. He enlisted in an ambulance unit during the first world war and later become a reporter before turning to a literary career. Hemingway's greatest works such as The Sun Also Rises (1926), A Farewell to Arms (1929) and The Old Man and the Sea (1952) brought new quality to fiction, a spare even laconic style which went straight to the heart of the matter. As one of the most influential writers in the century, Ernest Hemingway received the Nobel prize in 1954.
‘The Killers’ is reprinted from Men Without Women (1927). It is one of his most famous short stories from one of his best collections and illustrates how well his style lent itself to short story writing.
