Excellent point, Vicky, and it's nice to hear coming from an
established female author such as yourself. In addition to
reading "Hills Like White Elephants," a perusal of
Hemingway's magic "Cat in the Rain" could lead one to much
the same conclusion. That's just off the top of my head. I'm
sure there are more.
All the Best-

Snows of Kilimanjaro" is the finest piece of writing
published by an American during the 20th century)
