The literary debut that made Hemingway famous is also one of the most original short story collections of twentieth-century America.In Our Time is a landmark collection of short fiction, heralding the appearance of one of American literature’s greatest writers: the author of For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Sun Also Rises, and other classic novels.In Our Time includes the famous Nick Adams stories “Indian Camp,” “The Doctor and the Doctor’s Wife,” “The Three Day Blow,” and “The Battler,” among others.Written in Hemingway’s “fibrous and athletic” language, the “items which make up the collection of In Our Time are not so much short stories, in the accepted meaning, as preludes to a mood, composed with accurate and acute finesse to converge in the mind of the reader. Mr. Hemingway is oblique, inferential, suggestive rather than overt, explicit, explanatory. His people and events emerge with miraculous suddenness and inevitability out of a timeless paradise of their own, to intimate their own especial and intrinsic incongruities and ironies and pathos out of an illimitable fabric of comedies and tragedies” (The New York Times).
