Hemingway's Neglected Short Fiction: New Perspectives

by Susan F. Beegel (Editor)

In 1924 Ernest Hemingway published a small book of eighteen vignettes, each little more than one page long, with a small press in Paris. Titled"in ""our time"

, the volume was later absorbed into Hemingway's story collection" In Our Time"

. Those vignettes, as Milton Cohen demonstrates in"Hemingway's Laboratory"

, reveal a range of voices, narrative strategies, and fictional interests more wide-ranging and experimental than any other extant work of Hemingway's. Further, they provide a vivid view of his earliest tendencies and influences, first manifestations of the style that would become his hallmark, and daring departures into narrative forms that he would forever leave behind.
