First thing I thought:

Did the typed document use any supscript?

— but it can't be published.

It is death.

It is a good death.

In the sun.

It's too bad this isn't going to be published. I'd love to know what his pre-The Sun Also Rises narrative style was like, though you can get bits of it from some of his oldest short stories.

Though I'm sure Hemingway never intended this to be published, so to hold it up as any sort of literary "great" would be unfair to the man. As a writer myself, I know first drafts and other non-polished pieces of writing are, more often than not, extremely embarassing.
