Hemingway défend que le "premier brouillon de n'importe quoi, c'est de la merde". À l'instar, n'importe quoi sans brouillon ne vaut rien. Et "L'Apollonide, souvenirs de la maison close" tout éminent soit-il, n'existerait pas sans l'esquisse "Where the Boys Are". Fable du regard et dialogue des sexes, en vases communicants, cet hymne à la suffisance des femmes porte en germe les linéaments de "L'Apollonide".
