Publisher Description

A satirical and humorous early work by America's best writer of the twentieth century.

The Torrents of Spring, first published in 1926, is a satirical satire of the Chicago school of literature.

It represents a craze that Hemingway himself refused to follow, mocking the 'great race' of writers.

The Torrents of Spring is a parody of Sherwood Anderson's Dark Laughter in style and content, but throughout the story, other literary tendencies associated with American and British writers akin to Anderson—such as D. H. Lawrence, James Joyce, and John Dos Passos—are brought in for satirical comment.

The Torrents of Spring is a tremendously engaging narrative that provides a rare peek into Hemingway's early career as a storyteller and stylist.
