p>Bill must not have run afoul of the worst of all of Hemingway’s
novels,
The Torrents of Spring
, which was his very first
one. Rumor has it that this was written specifically to break his
contract with a major publishing company and was written by
Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald over a four-day period while both
were roaring drunk. They reportedly took turns on the chapters and
it shows! (Hemingway was fired and then turned
A Farewell to
Arms
over to his new company for a lot more money.)
