5.0 out of 5 stars An extraordinary insight into Hemingway's creative process, 24 Sep 1997
By A Customer
IN OUR TIMES exposes the reader to a unique experience, for it gives us insight into the writing process. This collection of "sketches" are the rough beginnings of Hemingway's later, more developed novels. There is a certain purity in these incomplete works. Although each story has its conclusion, the reader feels, as Hemingway did, a need to explore more fully the amazing characters he introduces.

The true power of this small collection are the vignettes. At first they confuse the reader since they do not serve as bridges connecting one story to the next. They are pure emotion, telling no story. A contradiction to Hemingway's tight, nonsuperfilous style, they scream for attention, just as we later hoped many of his well guarded character would. For those familiar with his works, they are the true gems of this collection. Our questions are finally answered, for the intensity of his characters are finally expressed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Words without Sentiment, 27 Jun 1999
By A Customer
These stories are very honest and deceptively simple, though a great weight is always underneath every story. About Hemingway as a young man mostly, disguised as Nick Adam's. Nick is from the country, he is educated, he has experienced war, and is through with everything. Nothing means anything to him anymore, not religion, the world he grew up in, all of it nauseates him, and he doesn't sentimentalise his state of mind, because he is through with sentiment. Sentiment only pretends that nothing is wrong. So this is the theme that emerges in many of the stories. What to do in a world that means nothing to you. What should you do? Well do nothing and be nothing and go fishing. This is a negative attitude and Nick is fully, consciously aware of his situation, and honest about it as well.

They are very beautiful and profoundly honest stories, and I'm pretty sure we all feel like Nick Adam's from time to time in our time!
