Welcome to the seventh of our eighteen shows celebrating the centenary of the Paris edition of Hemingway’s book of vignettes, in our time.

In this important vignette, Hemingway depicts Nick's war injury and his "separate peace" with Rinaldi.  We discuss Hemingway's own wounding during WWI, key differences between the final version of the vignette and early drafts, and Young's influential ideas about the "wound theory." We also take on various questions: Is Rinaldi dead by the end of the vignette?  Is the protagonist Nick Adams and, if so, what do we make of the various, inconsistent accounts of his war wounding here and in other stories. And much more. 

Join us as we explore in our time before it became In Our Time!
