Summary
In 1923, journalist and budding fiction writer Ernest Hemingway penned 18 original short stories and published them in the magazine The Little Review with the help of his friend Ezra Pound. Hemingway would later add to this collection and republish the stories in 1925 under the same title and—after adding an additional story—would again republish the entire volume in 1930, again as "in our time" (all in lower case).
Presented here are the original 18 "vignettes" as Hemingway originally published them in 1923. This collection of short stories would mark one of the most auspicious and earth-shattering debuts by an author in literary history and also introduced the world to the fictional character of Nick Adams, a protagonist Hemingway would revisit repeatedly in his career. Within a few years, Hemingway would become known as one of the most important voices of his generation and his stark prose—lean and brutal at times—would be imitated by generations of writers who followed him.
