These stories are about loners and losers and misfits and ne'er-do-wells. Its characters are ill, tortured, maligned, and frustrated by Hemingway's world. Like the characters it depicts, \u003cem\u003eWinner Take Nothing \u003c\/em\u003eis likewise a misfit in Hemingway's career, a volume of short stories that, as of this writing, is not even in print. Its more popular predecessors, \u003cem\u003eIn Our Time \u003c\/em\u003e(1925) and \u003cem\u003eMen without Women \u003c\/em\u003e(1927),are held up as iconic collections in the American short story tradition. The grotesqueries of these 14 stories are outcasts in Hemingway's corpus and have been neglected virtually from the beginning. Editors Cirino and Vandagriff recover an underrated work that still reflects contemporary concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough line-by-line annotations and accompanying commentary, this book weaves together the biographical, historical, and cultural threads of one of Hemingway's more overlooked works, thus providing much needed guidance for Hemingway scholars and general readers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eIncluded in this Collection:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction-Mark Cirino and Susan Vandagriff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"After the Storm\"-Kirk Curnutt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"A Clean Well-Lighted Place\"-Alberto Lena\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"The Light of the World\"-Bryan Giemza\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen\"-Suzanne del Gizzo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"The Sea Change\"-Carl Eby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"A Way You'll Never Be\"-Mark Cirino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"The Mother of a Queen\"—Krista Quesenberry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"One Reader Writes\"-Robert W.
