Economy of narrative? See "Big Two Hearted River" (parts I & II) for
masterful terse prose.
Reality v. fantasy? See "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" for the surprise ending.
Personal demons? See "The Capital of the World" and "Indian Camp" for
death, unexpected.
Importance of minute observations? See "Cat in the Rain" for its visuals.
Multiple, parallel conflicting storylines? See "Homage to
Switzerland" for its surreal re-tellings.
Men's fears v. women's fears? See "The Short Happy Life of Francis
Macomber" for cowardice, courage, redemption.
Heck, read 'em all. . .
