Speaking of Hemingway, I felt especially learned the other day while watching Cowboy BeBop. Near the end, one of the characters reflects on a story — and it happens to be a short story by Hemingway. At first, it was really strange because as I was watching, I kept saying to myself, “No way! That’s not it… He CAN’T be talking about THAT story. I actually KNOW that story.”… It wasn’t until he said “Kilimanjaro”, that I realized for sure that I DID know the story.

At least the story was followed with, “Yeah, I hate that story.”

Me too, Jet. Me too.
