A strikingly original collection of short stories and accompanying vignettes that marked Ernest Hemingway's American debut.
When In Our Time was first published in 1925, it was widely praised for its simple and precise use of language to convey a wide range of complex emotions, and earned Hemingway a place among the most promising American writers of that period. In Our Time contains several early Hemingway classics, including the famous Nick Adams stories "Indian Camp" and "The Three Day Blow," and introduces readers to the hallmarks of the Hemingway style: a lean, tough prose, enlivened by an ear for the colloquial and an eye for the realistic. His writing suggests, through the simplest of statements, a sense of moral value and a clarity of vision.

Now recognized as one of the most important short story collections of twentieth-century literature, In Our Time provides key insights into Hemingway's later works.

      Narrator Stacy Keach sets the perfect subdued tone for this thought-provoking collection of short stories. Keach's narration fits Hemingway's simple writing style with understated accents and emotions. The stories have a complexity beneath the surface that is difficult to grasp just by listening--yet listening is a pleasure. Many of the stories feature an American character named Nick Adams at different stages of his life. Other stories offer snapshots of WWI, bullfighting, horse racing, and other topics. Keach's voice enhances the images--whether harsh, surprising, or even puzzling--without infringing on the writing. The addition of haunting music between the chapters adds to the ambience. M.M.G.
