In Our Time (Warbler Classics)

by Ernest Hemingway, Malcolm Cowley (Contribution by)

Overview

In Our Time, Ernest Hemingway's first collection of short stories, heralded the arrival of an original and distinct literary voice. The stories' richly complicated themes of alienation, loss, grief, and separation contrast with Hemingway's spare but deeply evocative prose.

This Warbler Classics edition includes the essay Hemingway at Midnight by eminent literary critic Malcolm Cowley, who was a contemporary of Hemingway, as well as a detailed biographical timeline.

Editorial Reviews

"In the dry compressed little vignettes of In Our Time [Hemingway] has almost invented a form of his own...And I am inclined to think that this little book has more artistic dignity than any other book that has been written by an American about the period of the war." -Edmund Wilson
