“The Sun Also Rises,” Ernest Hemingway’s first novel, was published in 1926 and is about a group of disillusioned British and American expatriates living in postwar Europe. Part of the book takes place in Pamplona, Spain, but where does Jake Barnes — a journalist, a veteran and the novel’s narrator — live as the story begins?
- A Madrid
- B Paris
- C Venice
- D Lisbon
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
From the Oct. 31, 1926, issue of The New York Times Book Review:
The story is told in the first person, as if by one Jake Barnes, an American newspaper correspondent in Paris. This approach notoriously invites digression and clumsiness. The way Mr. Hemingway plays this hard-boiled Jake is comparable to Jake’s own evocations of the technique of the expert matador handling his bull.
