That journalism is represented here by a selection of thirty-one articles from 1920 to 1923, some never before republished, on subjects ranging from trout fishing to the rise of fascism in Italy. In his work for the Toronto Star and Hearst’s International News Service, Hemingway began to hone his gift for concise description. Featuring newly edited texts and several previously uncollected writings, it reveals as never before the astonishing artistic evolution that led the young journalist and expatriate author to transform the short story and the novel and to perfect the famous prose style that has influenced writers ever since. This long-awaited Library of America edition brings together for the first time in one volume the now legendary writings from Ernest Hemingway’s breakthrough years in Paris.
