Torrents of Spring

Post World War I, two men are attempting to find the perfect woman, although they both disagree about what might be considered ideal. Yogi Johnson, a World War I veteran, struggles with his lack of attraction to the opposite sex, until one day he's met with a gorgeous Native American woman. Scripps O'Neill, reeling from being left by his wife and young daughter, befriends a waitress and tumbles down a path of commitment. A parody that pokes fun at the great race of writers, The Torrents of Spring is one of Ernest Hemingway's first long works. Written in ten days, it was considered a masterpiece by F. Scott Fitzgerald but was criticized heavily by other writers at the time.
