Annotation
Discusses Hemingway’s motivations in writing the novel to serve the needs of his career and vilify Sherwood Anderson. Junkins examines the influence of Turgenev’s own Torrents of Spring (1872), here read as a satirical response to the romantic tradition, on the young Hemingway’s comic treatment of modernism in his The Torrents of Spring.
