In Our Time

The Birth of Hemingway’s Narrative Style and the World of Nick Adams.

The American edition of In Our Time includes 14 short stories interwoven with the original Paris vignettes. These stories, such as “Indian Camp” and “Big Two-Hearted River,” introduced the semi-autobiographical character Nick Adams and explored masculinity, alienation, and emotional repression. Hemingway’s prose was praised for its clarity and its power to suggest more than it said. This collection solidified his reputation as a revolutionary voice in modern fiction.
