Genre
Explanation and Analysis:

“In Another Country” is a short story belonging to the modernist literary genre. Hemingway—like other writers in what came to be known as “the lost generation”—felt that traditional literary techniques could not adequately capture the level of despair, alienation, and loss that people across the globe were feeling in the early 20th century (due to industrialization, world wars, and more), and thus began to experiment with writing style, narrative structure, and themes. This new literary sensibility came to be known as modernism.
