The Sun Also Rises is a 1926 novel by Ernest Hemingway. The characters are based on real people in Hemingway's circle, and the action is based on real events, particularly Hemingway's life in Paris in the 1920s and a trip to Spain in 1925 for the Pamplona festival and fishing in the Pyrenees. Hemingway presents his notion that the "Lost Generation"—considered to have been decadent, dissolute, and irretrievably damaged by World War I—was in fact resilient and strong.

As I listened to this, I couldn't help but compare Buggs and Ad to George and Lennie in Steinbeck's Mice and Men. Buggs protects Ad as George protected Lennie.

Om end Hemingway er mest kendt for sine romaner, anser mange hans noveller for det ypperste i hans forfatterskab. Novellerne i Kilimanjaros sne og andre noveller omfatter de noveller, der ikke tidligere har været medtaget i hans første tre novellesamlinger, og de udkom for første gang samlet i 1938 som del af antologien The Fifth Column and First Forty-Nine Stories. De er alle sammen fremragende eksempler på Hemingways helt unikke stil og betragtes i dag stadig som nogle af hans bedste værker.

Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, James Joyce og F. Scott Fitzgerald.
