A Clean, Well-Lighted Place | Overview

Considered one of Hemingway's finest works, "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" tells of two waiters working late in a cafe in a small town in Spain where an older, regular customer is drinking alone. The waiters talk about their differing opinions about the old man's situation, revealing a gap in the way generations view loneliness and, in larger scope, the fear of nothingness.
