I was quite unaware that "The Fly" was originally a short story. Does the fly with a human head make an appearance?

"If he had been much older, I would have summed up this story as The Old Man and the Sea and the Alien Spacecraft. I don’t know why so few Hemingway stories had aliens."

Somewhere out there in the multiverse, there's a timeline where Hemingway was a major contributor to Astounding.

Ever read Kingsley Amis's short story "Hemingway in Space"? It's exactly what it says on the tin, and is completely hilarious. (I say that as someone who admires a great deal of Hemingway's fiction.)
