This book is written by Sean Hemingway, not Ernest Hemingway. The introduction was written by Patrick Hemingway. The book is composed of excerpts of Ernest Hemingway's books, chosen by Sean to illustrate his relative's interest in several aspects of the sport of hunting.

Because the stories are fragments taken from books, they are out of context and the reader is unaware of any plot.

In short, I believe this is more like a biographical sketch of Ernest Hemingway. ( )
