Mr. Hemingway's 'The Sun Also Rises'
THE WILD YEAR of 1926 brought us a startling volume of writing greatness. Ernest Hemingway came out with his sleek masterpiece 'The Sun Also Rises.' For certain the incisive and tough prose of Papa stood the ribald literary world on its ear. This good muscular story of the overwhelming Jake Barnes and Robert and of course Lady Brett was so shrewd. Like a good angus beef steak that's what this one was. I will never forget the time that I first read 'Sun' and let me say right now I forgot about being the odd introvert male I was. I wanted so very desperately to rise up and be a man's man...a character out of the fertile mind of E. Hemingway. This story about the human beings who traveled from Paris to Pamplona to see the crushing spectacle of the bullfight scenarios was so passionate and My God so vibrant. If we all learn to vividly enjoy the magnificent aura of powerhouse prose again then we can add so many levels and yes so many interesting dimensions to our somewhat humdrum lives.
