An early gem from the greatest American writer of the twentieth century First published in 1926, The Torrents of Spring is a hilarious parody of the Chicago school of literature.
In style and substance, The Torrents of Spring is a burlesque of Sherwood Anderson's Dark Laughter, but in the course of the narrative, other literary tendencies associated with American and British writers akin to Anderson - such as D. Lawrence, James Joyce, and John Dos Passos - come in for satirical comment.

 Ernest Hemingway’s The Torrents of Spring   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In The Torrents of Spring Hemingway examines the characteristics of various genres by imitating selected aspects; thus Yogi Jo hnson and Scripps O’Neil, in their adolescent naivete, can be considered “wise fools” or “child-men,” and their unselfconscious use of rhetoric has comic repercussions which they do not grasp (Pughe 64, 65, 68).
The Torrents of Spring is a parody of 1920s culture, in the form of the picaresque adventures of Scripps O’Neil and Yogi Johnson as each searches for the perfect woman.
In a clever reversal, in The Torrents of Spring, Pollyanna is a man. The issue of gender mixes with the parodic aims of The Torrents of Spring, so that while Hemingway is formulating images of sexuality, he is simultaneously joking about those very constructs.

Torrents of Spring on the other hand is one of Hemingway’s most timely works.
In this comparison Hemingway has the advantage because Torrents of Spring is his attempt to highlight Anderson’s limitations.
Torrents is an interesting test case because on the one hand Hemingway creates Africanist characters only to mock Anderson’s Africanism, not because he has any racist notions of his own to communicate.

 Torrents of Spring, by Ivan Turgenev
Such an expression a man's face wears when he suddenly meets some one whom he has long lost sight of, whom he has at one time tenderly loved, and who suddenly springs up before his eyes, still the same, and utterly transformed by the years.
He got up, and going back to the hearth, he sat down again in the arm-chair, and again hid his face in his hands.
Now he considered nothing, reflected on nothing, did not deliberate, and did not look forward; he had done with all his past, he leaped forward into the future; from the dreary bank of his lonely bachelor life he plunged headlong into that glad, seething, mighty torrent--and litt
