"In Our Time" is Hemingway's first collection of short stories. The stories have themes of alienation, loss, grief, and separation, which include descriptions of acts of war, bullfighting, and current events. The collection is known for its spare language and oblique depiction of emotion, through a style known as Hemingway "theory of omission".
