Book Description Subtitled "A Romantic
Novel in Honour of the Passing of a Great Race", "The Torrents of
Spring" - Hemingway's second published work - wonderfully parodies
the themes and styles of the 'great race' of writers of his
generation. Spring is coming to the small towns of Michigan, but
the snow still covers the land when Scripps O'Neil sets of for
Chicago, decides to stop a while in Petoskey, and meets up with
Yogi Johnson. Their bizarre stories are a brilliant satire on
conventional fiction. The characters they meet are absurd and yet
strangely familiar. Short, fast-paced, funny, "The Torrents of
Spring" throws light on Hemingway's later work - and is a delight
to read.
