Product Description
by Ernest Hemingway (Author)
"But she might hold him. That was all that mattered now. To hold him. To hold him. Not to let him go. Make him stay."
-Ernest Hemingway, The Torrents of Spring (1926)
The Torrents of Spring (1926) by Ernest Hemingway is an amusing parody that pokes fun at the writers of the time, namely Hemingway's friend, Sherwood Anderson and his novel, Dark Laughter (1925). The plot centers on the perfect woman and the attempt by the two main characters, Yogi Johnson and Scripps O'Neill to find her. This first long work of Hemingway was received with mixed reviews by his critics and compatriots; F. Scott Fitzgerald dubbed it a masterpiece. This novella is a rare glimpse into the humorous side of Hemingway and a must-read for fans of the author and parodies.
