- Annotation
- Holliday argues that Hemingway's first published novel, The Torrents of Spring, plays a more important role in the development of his authorial mythology than has been previously discussed. Aside from his desire to break from his first American publisher, Boni & Liveright, Hemingway also desired a break from his early influences like Sherwood Anderson and Gerturde Stein, and Holliday sees both breaks as the purposeful creation of a self-mythology that Hemingway would lean on for the rest of his career.
