After the small "mosaic of modern violence" had appeared, Hemingway explained in a letter to Wilson (25 November 1923), "the two [books] together could make one review." According to Kenneth Lynn, the proposal to the only critic who, in Hemingway's opinion, possessed the wide curiosity, intellect, and reputation that really influential reviewing required, was well-conceived. Eleven months later in The Dial , Wilson heralded to the world of letters Hemingway's arrival as a prose writer of "the first distinction... In the dry compressed little vignettes of In Our Time , [he] has almost invented a form of his own ...
