Annotation
Reads the Hemingway hero as a reactionary response to the established literary antihero. Roston questions Cézanne’s influence, suggesting the emerging style of functionalism provided Hemingway with a new aesthetic for validating traditional moral themes in his writing. Examines The Sun Also Rises in light of Hemingway’s adaptation of functionalist modes in art and architecture.
