Our story for tonight is "THE SEA CHANGE" by Ernest Hemingway.

Lag recommended this one.

What I'd like everyone to do this week is think about the following paragraph.

 Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was an American author and journalist. This short story, “The Sea Change,” is similar in style and convention to a more well known story, “Hills Like White Elephants.” In each of these, Hemingway writes about controversial topics without being controversial.In the former story, the topic is abortion; in “The Sea Change” the topic is bisexuality.

I have tried and failed to see anything in the story that leads me to believe it's about any sort of sexuality, let alone bisexuality.
Does anyone else have that feeling?

If you have any problems or questions, just email me at the email link above.
