Ernest Hemingway wrote many short stories, novels and poems. In 1925 he wrote In Our Time which is a collection of short stories. In 1926 he wrote two novels called The Torrents of Spring and The Sun Also Rises. In 1927 he wrote another collection of short stories called Men Without Women. In 1929 he wrote another novel entitled A Farewell to Arms. He continued to write short story collections and novels until his death.

Krebs went to the war in 1917 from a Methodist college in Kansas. There is a picture of him with his fraternity brothers all in the same collar. He came back from the war in 1919, after he had been in the Rhine. There, a picture was taken of him, a fellow corporal, and two German ladies. When Krebs returns, no one celebrates. He comes back after most everyone else, so he misses the hysteria. He also cannot get anyone to listen to his stories. Everyone has heard too many gruesome stories to care. To get people to listen, he has lied twice. But he is disgusted by that so he has stopped talking about the war. Even his lies bore people, anyway.

On his way home, the waiter stops at a bar, telling the bartender that the bar is unpolished, reminding himself of his disdain for bars because they aren't the clean, well-lighted places he relishes. He leaves the bar, knowing that he will not get to sleep until dawn. He tells himself, “it is probably only insomnia.” “Many must have it.”

Around 1925, Hemingway wrote The Sun Also Rises. A year later he was able to finish a story that he had started previously called A Farewell to Arms. Both novels showed Hemingway's obsession with death. During World War II, Ernest became a secret agent for the United States. It was at this time that he became a heavy drinker because of his time by himself on the boat.
