Summary:

"In Our Time, a volume of short stories and prose poems, chronicles events before, during, and after the World War I. Hemingway's first major work, the volume exemplifies modernist literature with its unpredictable juxtapositions, disjointed narration, and jarring themes. The stories mere "Lost Generation" memories of birth, death, violence, romance, and adventure, some belonging to the semi-autobiographical character Nick Adams. Despite Nick's recurrent challenges, the stories follow a nonlinear, random pattern that marks modernist literature. "Contexts" offers a collection of Hemingway's other writings as a journalist and an assortment of letters he wrote to his friends in order to illustrate the background in which In Our Time was conceived. "Criticism" includes early reviews that skyrocketed Hemingway to fame, as well as contemporary and recent criticism that analyzes specific stories within the collection. A chronology and selected bibliography are also included"-- Provided by publisher.
