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.
