I'd forgotten about "Cat in the Rain," but have just read a
section of Robert Olen Butler's new writing book From Where
You Dream, where he talks about that story in order to
illustrate Hemingway's "cinematically sensual way" of
directing a scene. Butler's book is wonderful for anyone who
writes or teaches writing, and Hemingway's genius in
cinematic technique is clarified in a few pages. I guess the
woman in "The Short Happy Life..." shows a side of women that
I sometimes get into trouble for writing about--from women.
