Nick Adams (character)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nick Adams was the protagonist of more than a dozen of Ernest Hemingway's short stories written in the 1920s and 30s. Most of the stories were collected in a 1972 book titled The Nick Adams Stories. They are stories of initiation and adolescence. Taken as a whole, as in The Nick Adams Stories, they chronicle a young man’s coming of age in a series of linked episodes. The character – Nick Adams – is partly inspired by Hemingway’s experiences, from his summers in Northern Michigan to his service in the Red Cross ambulance corps in World War I. The stories are grouped according to major themes in Nick’s life.
