Three Stories & Ten Poems, Ernest Hemingway’s first book, contains two stories that were all that remained of Hemingway’s first collection after the suitcase containing the originals was famously lost or stolen in 1922. ‘Up in Michigan, ‘ which was controversial in its time for its explicit sexuality, continues to stir debate and discussion. Gertrude Stein pronounced it ‘inaccrochable’ while Irish novelist Edna O’Brien said, ‘I would ask his detractors, female or male, just to read that story, and could you in all honor say this was a writer who didn’t understand women’s emotions and hated women?’ Spare, unblinking, and compelling, this slender collection marks the debut of one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century.
