Fond as I am of Ken Burns's work, it's the subject I find problematic here. Of all the accepted heavyweights of American Literature from The Last of the Mohicans to around 1980 or so when I stopped paying particular attention, Hemingway is the one I got on with the least (apart from Saul Bellow, if he can be considered a heavyweight these days, and Henry James – I never read anything they wrote) Bellow is Canadian, but is associated with Chicago. And Bellow is definitely a heavyweight. |

I like his short stories. That's one of the things I'm interested to see. How they approach his Nick Adams stories and his non-fiction work, Death in the Afternoon and A Moveable Feast. |

Be interesting to see what non-more-American subject Burns tackles next.
The Patty Melt?
The unabridged history of being an Asshole?
The Silicone Tit?
