Ernest Hemingway's the Sun Also Rises Book

This work is an excellent, insightful and multi-faceted look at Hemingway's first novel. There are a few essays that overlap in terms of theme, but this is just one example in the compilation, and not the rule for the book.

The Sun Also Rises is a deceptively simple little book that hides right in front of the reader's eye, in plain sight. Through the Casebook, relationships and snippets of dialogue are "lens-ed", taking what is a solid straight-forward read, and casting in a thoroughly three-dimensional form, particularly in terms of attitudes toward gender. Hemingway himself quipped that the book was about "morality", but gender figures in largely in the casebook, revealing a cornucopia of double-meanings in the dialogue and unlocking some of the imagery, looking the past the superficial hedonism of the expatriates.
