Only short story i read in college that i truly loved and identified with.. was great to watch the characters i imagined come to life! Awesome job

[@user-iv5mv9fq2d]

it was abou what please ?

Almost verbatim of the original Hemingway short story. We studied it in depth in a college course I took, back in the 1980s. It's arguably the best example of existential short fiction ever written.

Fricking insanely awesome... I just read this today.. for first time. This piece is so deep, even I am not sure I grasp all of it. ..... I have been there... overseas, alone... in a bar, but never mentally where this man is. Lord have mercy this is incredible!

THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT PRESENTATION OF THIS STORY---BY CHICAGO NATIVE EARNEST HEMMINGWAY! I THINK THE SET CAPTURED THE ERA AS WELL, AND GAVE IT A KIND OF EDWARD- HOPPERIAN ISOLATION (HOPPER WAS ALSO OF THE ERA). I'VE TRAVELED TO OVER 60 COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE AND BEEN TO JUST ABOUT EVERY MAJOR MUSEUM. MY FAVORITE, BY FAR, IS YOUR MUSEUM IN CHICAGO. I WAS FORTNUNATE TO HAVE SEEN THE RENE MAGRITTE EXHIBIT TWO YEARS AGO, AND MAGRITTE AND DADA/SURREALISM WAS ALSO VERY MUCH OF THE SAME ERA AS HEMMINGWAY, REFLECTING THE SURREAL, ANCHORLESS MODERNISM IN SOCIETY AFTER THE GREAT WAR. AND INDEED, WE HEAR THAT SENTIMENT IN THE EXISTENTIALIST BABBLING OF THE LORD'S PRAYER IN THIS STORY. ALSO I SEE THIS STORY AS A FORESHADOWING OF HEMMINGWAY'S OWN DESPAIR, LATER IN LIFE, AS AN OLD MAN, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY DID END IN SUICIDE.

The story is one of Papa's best, but if you want to see the soul of a drinker on film, watch: *The Legend of the Holy Drinker (1988) - long bar scene.* KZbin. Andreas (Rutger Hauer) is alone in the cafe on a rainy night, rather like the cafe in the rue Mouffetard which Hemingway described in the opening page of *A Moveable Feast*.

Why does the young waiter take 10 awkward seconds to answer haha. Almost humorous

[@masoudmehrjouei5900]

Hi, everybody, who is the laday narrator at the begining of the story?

[@zainab_2625]

I don't understand :)

[@happyscrappy370]

The old man is afraid at his old age, sad and downtrodden. He drinks outside to be outside and forget a bit. The young man is full of confidence and has a life, a girl at home. The older barkeep and the young one discuss different views of the old man’s life. The older barkeep walks alone at night and recites a made up prayer to himself essentially about how it’s all silly and going downhill it seems. He visits another bar where no one there is that hospitable to hun either and the bar isn’t a clean, well-lighted place. He tries to sleep at night and convinces himself it’s only insomnia “many must have it”. In fact, this is just the way of life, he will be the old man soon, the young barkeep will be him, life goes on.
