I don't remember every seeing that in any of the books, and
I've read them all. I would think it would have stuck with
me, much like Vidal's quote "All the ills of the world could
be cured if people would simply do as I advise." It's the
sort of quote I'd be likely to remember.

Hemingway
In every Dave Robicheaux novel by James Lee Burke he always
mentions or alludes to a quote by Hemingway, supposedly from
Death in the Afternoon, to the effect that "All the world's
ills could be corrected by a three-day open season on
people," but I don't ever remember reading that and I haven't
been able to find it anywhere in that book. Is it really in
there somewhere? Anybody?
