I came across a 1930 issue of The American Mercury in which Sherwood Anderson wrote an affectionate piece about Hemingway and Faulkner, which shows his big-hearted nature given that both of those authors had mercilessly satirized him in print. Torrents, Hemingway's effort, is very funny for anyone who has read Anderson and a curiosity for those who haven't. I like the idea of an online reviewer who wrote that this book is not just pure cruelty; it is Hemingway's farewell to a way of writing as he struck out for new territories.
