Annotation
Surveys the novel’s biographical origins, composition, and reception before moving into an analysis of the sense of loss reflected in Jake’s confessional narration. Covers the expatriate movement, the Lost Generation, rise of the New Woman, and Hemingway’s mastery of modernist realism. Concludes that for Jake and others in the novel, there is little consolation “in the fact that the sun also rises.”
