in our time, chapter 3: "Minarets stuck up in the rain"
Listen now
Description
Welcome to the third of our eighteen shows celebrating the centenary of the Paris edition of Hemingway’s book of vignettes, in our time. In this scene, Hemingway describes the minarets rising over the landscape overlooking the harrowing evacuation at the Greco-Turkish War in 1922.

Join us as we explore in our time before it became In Our Time!
