The Hemingway Game is the first novel from Russian playwright and performer of his own plays, Evgeny Grishkovets. The Hemingway Game is an urban romance which depicts the life of a shirt over the course of one day (worn in the morning and taken off late at night); revealing a lot about the main character, who subsequently moved to Moscow some time ago. He, just like all of us, wakes up in the morning, goes to work, meets his friends and has his daily routine; that is until love changes everything. Written in a similar style to Grishkovets plays, this short novel depicts the same type of unity of time, place and action, as well as psychological subtlety.
