Hemingway's third and final collection contains fourteen short stories, including "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place." Six of these – "The Light of the World," "A Way You'll Never Be," "The Mother of a Queen," "One Reader Writes," "A Day's Wait," and "Fathers and Sons" – appear here for the first time (though the dust jacket flap claims nine), while one, "A Natural History of the Dead," was inserted at Hemingway's specific request.
