Ernest Hemingway
First published in 1926, ,The Torrents of Spring, is a hilarious parody of the Chicago school of literature. Poking fun at that "great race" of writers, it depicts a vogue that Hemingway himself refused to follow. In style and substance, ,The Torrents of Spring, is a burlesque of Sherwood Anderson's ,Dark Laughter,, but in the course of the narrative, other literary tendencies associated with American and British writers akin to Anderson -- such as D. H. Lawrence, James Joyce, and John Dos Passos -- come in for satirical comment. A highly entertaining story, ,The Torrents of Spring, offers a rare glimpse into Hemingway's early career as a storyteller and stylist.
