Toto - Africa (Live in Paris 2007)--tonight, as we reached the peak of the Modernists, we did a close reading of Hemingways masterful short story, the snows of Kilimanjaro (1936). Whatever its merits as a story, it represents the master at the peak of his powers. It contains all the essential elements of a Hemingway story: the dying hero, the mournful heroine who is able to drink scotch and soda like a man, shoot a double barreled shotgun like a man, the African setting, and lots of memories conveyed as flashbacks. Parts of it have not aged well, and it could never be made into a proper movie. It remains, for us, a lodestone of modernistic art.
