Truth in Life

Book Review: The Sun Also Rises

<— Back to FULL LIST

Author: Hemingway, Ernest; 1926

tankforwin’s rating: ⭐ 1/5 (Dated 13 FEB 2022)

A literary classic it sure is. An accurate representation of Hemingway’s “Iceberg Theory” it sure is. An enjoyable great read…it sure is not. The characters of the book are constantly inebriated and I constantly question their livers’ functions. While this classic of the Lost Generation shines with authenticity in outlining the wandering and decadence of American expatriates carelessly living in France, that portrayal nauseates the reader over 222 pages in a tale stitched with irrelevance and banality.
