Sort of what MD alluded to concerningt "True at First Light," some pf the passages are amazing. You think "He really nailed it." Much of the rest is just reading to find another remarkable passage. For me it was worth it.
I found it interesting that the three true short stories that Burns focused on are the three I remember best, "Up in Michigan," "The Indian Camp" and "Hills Like White Elephants." I confess the reason I remember "Hills..." is I was very young when I read it and I read it twice, as I had no idea what it was about. That came years later.
As for "Green Hills of Africa," I tried reading it in the fifth grade at camp. It was the only book my mother sent with me. I couldn't get into it. A few years later I tried it again. Amazing.
