About this listen
A burlesque show has been travelling across the country, and somewhere in Kansas City its advance man stops travelling. He has been ahead of the company the whole way, and now the company has caught him, which in a pursuit race means the race is over for him.
The manager finds him in a hotel room with the sheet pulled up over his head. They talk through the sheet. The manager is not unkind: he offers help, he offers time, he tries to say the things a decent man says. The advance man answers each of them pleasantly and will not come out, and by the end the manager understands that there is nothing here to be fixed.
First published in Men Without Women in 1927, A Pursuit Race is one of Ernest Hemingway’s shortest and most pitiless stories: a conversation in a hotel room about a man who has stopped running, told almost entirely in dialogue and almost entirely in things neither man will say.
Listen to the complete, unabridged audiobook of this classic American short story.
