Description

Authors Vinson Cunningham, Mira Jacob, Min Jin Lee, and Colm Tóibín return to the Thalia Book Club for a close examination of The Sun Also Rises, recognized as Hemingway's greatest work. From the café society of Paris to the Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona, we follow Jake Barnes, Lady Brett Ashley, and their expatriate friends and lovers as they search for love and meaning in the shadow of World War I.

“Because Hemingway loved the American language and the joy of writing…he was in many ways the true father-as-artist of so many of us who came to writing during the late thirties.” —Ralph Ellison
