The torrents of spring - ernest hemingway

First published in 1926--and out of print for several years--The Torrents of Spring is not only a rare and invaluable example of Hemingways early writings, but a wonderfully entertaining novel.

An early gem of satire and humor from the greatest American writer of the twentieth century.

First published in 1926, The Torrents of Spring is a hilarious parody of the Chicago school of literature.

Poking fun at that great race of writers, it depicts a vogue that Hemingway himself refused to follow.

In style and substance, The Torrents of Spring is a burlesque of Sherwood Andersons Dark Laughter , but in the course of the narrative, other literary tendencies associated with American and British writers akin to Anderson--such as D.

Lawrence, James Joyce, and John Dos Passos--come in for satirical comment.

A highly entertaining story, The Torrents of Spring offers a rare glimpse into Hemingways early career as a storyteller and stylist.
