Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway

fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

3.5

the strongest part of this very short story is definitely the dialogue. that's not surprising, since the whole story is a man and a woman having a conversation where they compare the hills to white elephants, and the man pressures the girl into having an 'operation' (we can assume what kind of operation he's referring to). i liked the style of the dialogue and the story is pretty memorable despite being extremely short ^^
