Torrents Of Spring

Torrents of Spring

by Ernest Hemingway

The Torrents of Spring, while a novel, is unlike any other work by Hemingway. It's a pointed, often humorous parody of Sherwood Anderson's 'Dark Laughter.' The story centers on a young man named John, who finds himself navigating the absurdities of life and love, experiencing a series of bizarre and often comical encounters. Despite the humorous tone, the novel also reveals a sharp critique of American society in the 1920s. Readers are advised that the novel contains outdated and insensitive portrayals of certain social groups, reflecting the norms of the time period.
