Borrowing its title from an old Anglican prayer, Ernest Hemingway's In Our Time is a series of stories and vignettes that reflect on a world searching for peace after World War I.


These stories span topics from passionate affairs between soldiers and nurses to the thrills and spectacle of bullfighting. Many of the stories in the collection are presenting as counterparts to one another, playing off of similar themes with different framing techniques.
Some of the included stories are:


  • Indian Camp and The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife – Two stories that introduce the reader to Hemingway's semi-autobiographical character, Nick Adams, as a child. These vignettes show Nick's father in two distinctive moments - assisting in emergency surgery at a Native American

        Narrator Stacy Keach sets the perfect subdued tone for this thought-provoking collection of short stories. Keach's narration fits Hemingway's simple writing style with understated accents and emotions. The stories have a complexity beneath the surface that is difficult to grasp just by listening--yet listening is a pleasure. Many of the stories feature an American character named Nick Adams at different stages of his life. Other stories offer snapshots of WWI, bullfighting, horse racing, and other topics. Keach's voice enhances the images--whether harsh, surprising, or even puzzling--without infringing on the writing. The addition of haunting music between the chapters adds to the ambience. M.M.G.
