A year earlier in 1924, Hemingway published a much shorter book named in our time (in lower-case) in Paris. It consisted of just 32 pages and was published in a small edition of 170 copies. in our time contained three short stories and the fragments later used as interchapters in In Our Time.

The title comes from the English Book of Common Prayer: "give us peace in our time, O Lord". This origin was first suggested by Ezra Pound and then later confirmed by Hemingway.
