In Our Time

by Ernest Hemingway

Overview

In Our Time has a curious history in that Earnest Hemingway released it in at least three different versions. The first edition (the 1924 Paris edition) was commissioned by Ezra Pound for Three Mountains Press and contains six prose vignettes. The collection explores loss, grief, separation, and alienation—topics Hemingway would never leave behind.

Until Ezra Pound asked him to write this collection, Hemingway was primarily a writer of non-fiction. This collection would forever change that. Hemingway’s sparse style attracted attention immediately. The face of American fiction would never be the same.

Editorial Reviews

"Hemingway's language is fibrous and athletic, colloquial and fresh, hard and clean... he packs a whole character into a phrase, an entire situation into a sentence or two. He makes each word count three or four ways."
—The New York Times

“There’s something immortal about these short pieces. They are absolute miracles of prose, of description, of evocation. They take you there.”
—Edna O'Brien

“Ernest Hemingway is a new, honest, un-literary transcriber of life – a Writer.”
—Time
