Hemingway's American debut
HEMINGWAY, Ernest.
In Our Time. Stories by...
New York, Boni & Liveright, 1925.
When In Our Time was published it was praised by Ford Madox Ford, John Dos Passos, and F. Scott Fitzgerald for its simple and precise use of language to convey a wide range of complex emotions, and it earned Hemingway a place beside Sherwood Anderson and Gertrude Stein as one of the most promising American writers of that period. This collection contains several early Hemingway classics, including the famous Nick Adams stories Indian Camp, The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife, The Three Day Blow and The Battler. It introduces readers to the hallmarks of the Hemingway style: a lean, tough prose, enlivened by an ear for the colloquial and an eye for the realistic that suggests, through the simplest of statements, a sense of moral value and a clarity of heart.
Now recognised as one of the most original short story collections in twentieth-century literature, In Our Time serves as a key to Hemingway's later works.
