Rediscover a Lost Generation Classic

The Sun Also Rises Now:
Hemingway’s Breakthrough Masterpiece at 100

with Colm Tóibín, Lev Grossman, Lesley M. M. Blume, and Robert W. Trogdon

Tuesday, November 17
6:00–7:00 PM ET

In the hundred years since The Sun Also Rises was published, American culture has been radically transformed and the taboos flouted in Hemingway’s masterpiece have mostly melted away. Why then do readers and writers still connect so powerfully with the flagrant behavior of the novel’s characters, the allure of its setting, and the emotional weight of its sentences?

Join acclaimed authors Colm Tóibín and Lev Grossman, literary historian Lesley M. M. Blume, and scholar Robert W. Trogdon, editor of the newly released The Annotated Sun Also Rises, for a conversation about the indelible Jake Barnes, Lady Brett Ashley, Robert Cohn, and their circle—and what they can tell us about American imagination and experience then and now.

FEATURED VOLUME

Upon its publication in 1926, The Sun Also Risesconfirmed Ernest Hemingway as a foundational figure of literary modernism and the voice of the “Lost Generation.” Now, one hundred years after it first appeared, readers can rediscover this classic in a lavishly illustrated annotated edition that brings to life the allure of 1920s Montparnasse nightlife, the vibrancy of the Iberian countryside, and the frenetic energy of the corrida and the running of the bulls.

Featuring 140 illustrations and photographs and more than 200 illuminating marginal notes, this volume reveals how Hemingway translated real episodes, locations, and people directly onto the page, including his 1925 trip to Pamplona, beset by jealousies and rivalries. It also tracks the novel’s explosive reception and enduring cultural legacy, synthesizing the best that has been thought and written about the book over the past century. The Annotated Sun Also Rises presents the Library of America corrected text of the novel, prepared by Hemingway scholar Robert W. Trogdon after careful study of manuscripts, typescripts, and printings from Hemingway’s lifetime.
