Martina Mastandrea on "Out of Season"

Mark Cirino, Michael Von Cannon, and Martina Mastandrea

The great Italian scholar Martina Mastandrea, who spoke with us in 2023 to discuss "In Another Country," joins us again to talk about another Hemingway tale: "Out of Season."

After Mastandrea treats us to an Italian rendition of the opening to "Out of Season," we explore many aspects of the story, including its biographical inspiration, connections to other Hemingway texts (like "Cat in the Rain" and "Hills Like White Elephants"), the role Cortina plays as a setting, and ways to read the famous ending.  

This celebrated story is always in-season, so please join us as Martina Mastandrea guides us through it!
