1926119154New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1926. First edition of Hemingway's first novel one of 1250 printed. Octavo original cloth. Fine in a near fine dust jacket with light wear to the extremities. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Ernest Hemingway's first novel and third published book was preceded by Three Stories and Ten Poems and the collection of stories In Our Time. "Hemingway was planning a carefully engineered campaign for breaking his contract with Boni and Liveright and maneuvering to place his novel The Sun Also Rises with Scribner's. The vehicle was. the satirical novel The Torrents of Spring which was clearly calculated to cause problems with his publisher since it was a deliberate parody of Sherwood Anderson Boni and Liveright's best-selling author. Boni and Liveright had the option on his next three books one of which had to be a novel. If however they turned down the book that Hemingway submitted next he was free of his obligations to the publisher and could go elsewhere." Hemingway wrote Ezra Pound that he "had written 'a funny book'. It was a satire on America he claimed 'Probably unprintable but funny as hell. Wrote it to destroy Sherwood Anderson and various others. It's first really adult thing have done. Jesus Christ it is funny. It is a regular novel only it shows up all the fakes of Anderson Gertrude Stein Sinclair Lewis Willa Cather Hergo Joseph Hergesheimer and all the rest of the pretentious faking bastards. I don't see how Sherwood will ever be able to write again" Mellow Hemingway. Charles Scribner's Sons hardcover books

He wrote this novel in a way that would force his publisher Horace Liverwright to refuse it & thus break contract. It parodies Liverwright's star author Sherwood Anderson. He was then able to take up a more lucrative offer from Scribner's. The novel relates the intersecting lives of WWI veteran Yogi Johnson & writer Scripps O'Neill both of whom work at a pump factory. Both are searching for the perfect woman. O'Neill takes mescaline & hallucinates he is President of Mexico. Johnson is cured of his impotence when viewing a naked squaw he is overcome by "a new feeling" which he immediately attribute to Mother Nature & together he & the squaw "light out for the territories" The hero is impotent. The hero of The Sun Also Rises suffered from a war wound preventing intercourse. Many of Hemingway's short stories from this period God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen also treat sexual dysfunction. Tho primarily a send-up of Anderson's poorly-esteemed negro novel Dark Laughter the literary proclivities of American & British writers close to Anderson such as D. H. Lawrence James Joyce & John Dos Passos are wound into the monkey-barrel of satire & parody.</p> Scribner hardcover
