THE THREE DAY BLOW by ERNEST HEMINGWAY

In 1925 Hemingway's collection of his first short stories appeared as In Our Time, and included the cryptic The Three Day Blow.  He begins with a memory of  WWI, then gives us a dialogue between Nick Adams (Hemingway's alter -ego in his early stories) and a friend as they spend a few days drinking at his friend's fathers lodge. The theme is baically to portray a 'lost generation' of young men after the war who had no desire to do much with their lives, including getting married and raising children. There is a lot of "He said" and simple dialogue but this style was new and appealed to a younger audience of readers. It would be years before Hemingway reached his peak but this collection started him on his path.
