A Near Fine copy with previous owner name on flyleaf in Very Good plus dust jacket with a small chip to the front panel. Facsimile style sheet tipped in at rear. It is generally acknowledged that Ernest Hemingway's short stint as a reporter for the Kansas City Star was an important apprenticeship to his career as a creative writer. In his articles for the Kansas City Star, Hemingway wrote of a gun battle outside a house used by drug addicts, of the victims of violence that were treated at the city’s General Hospital, and of the violence accompanying the laundry workers’ strike. He also did some serious investigative journalism into corruption on the hospital’s Health Board and criticised the city for its mishandling of the smallpox outbreak that was happening at the time.This slender volume is a collection of eleven Kansas City Star stories that editor Matthew Bruccoli has been able to attribute to Hemingway.
