The Snows of Kilimanjaro

This book by Ernest Hemingway came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: guest. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.

A collection of short stories previously published in Hemingway’s earlier collections. These are generally considered the best of the early short stories. Ranging from semi-autobiographical tales from his childhood in Michigan to the contemplative title story, set in Africa and stories set in Europe during or post WW1.
