Words Wednesday: Ernest Hemingway
This week’s Words Wednesday is inspired by Ernest Hemingway.
These are the last words of Hemingway’s 1926 novel, The Sun Also Rises. Loosely based on Ernest Hemingway’s real-life group of friends, the novel follows American expatriate Jake Barnes and his love interest, Englishwoman Brett Ashley. Often considered Hemingway’s finest novel, The Sun Also Rises captures readers with its depiction of glitzy Parisian cafes, excessive drinking, women’s sexual liberation and the tragic seduction of Pamplona bullfighting.
Beyond a single work, though, Ernest Hemingway is remembered for writing about the Lost Generation and for his distinctly sparse, action-driven prose. (His unique writing style has even inspired an eponymous editing app.)
“Isn’t it pretty to think so?”
