Men Without Women

Men Without Women is a 1927 collection of short stories by Ernest Hemingway. In a letter to F. Scott Fitzgerald dated September 1927, Hemingway tells that he originally wanted to find another title from the Book of Ecclesiastes (source of 'The Sun Also Rises') but, upon borrowing an Anglican vicar's bible, discovered that Rudyard Kipling and others had mined all potential biblical quotations, leaving him to come up with 'Men Without Women' off the cuff.
