Ernest Hemingway's first piece of long-form literature, The Torrents of Spring, is a satirical novella that the great American author wrote in just ten days and is a rare early example of his work.

Set in small-town America in Northern Michigan, The Torrents of Spring follows two characters: a writer, Scripps O'Neill, and a Great War veteran, Yogi Johnson. Scripps represents the small-mindedness of suburban America and repeatedly falls in love with women who claim to have knowledge of literature, whereas Yogi has fought in the First World War, experienced a severe injury, and fallen in love in Paris. Throughout the novella, Yogi struggles to fall in love with someone new, and he represents the Lost Generation of Jazz Age literature.
