Indian Camp by Ernest Hemingway, reading by Tom O'Bedlam



What a gorgeous 1500 word story, early in his career, that established Ernest Hemingway as a great American author. Concise, impactful. So many layers to this story. The wisdom of the father, the innocence of Nick. The first Hemingway short story that presages the future for "Papa" Hemingway, when Nick asks his father about suicide and death.

With great appreciation for SpokenVerse, Tom O'Bedlam. Check out his youtube channel for many eloquent readings here:

"Nobody really knows or understands and nobody has ever said the secret.  The secret is that it is poetry written into prose and it is the hardest of all things to do." -- Ernest Hemingway

Cormac McCarthy from Blood Meridian

"That which exists without my knowledge exists without my consent."

"They were watching, out there past men's knowing, where stars are drowning and whales ferry their vast souls through the black and seamless sea."
