192641545New York: Charles Scribner's 1926. Becoming a novelist First edition first printing of the author's first novel a ruthless satire on Sherwood Anderson and his clique of American writers that Hemingway deemed pretentious. After completing the draft Hemingway informed Ezra Pound that it was "probably unprintable but funny as hell. It's the first really adult thing I have done.
