Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-18 00:00:00 Charles Block Quite a valuable resource for considering The Sun Also Rises from different angles. Provides useful context for the novel's history as well as arguments for its contemporary relevance. The interview with Hemingway himself is of course especially illuminating.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-10-29 00:00:00 Garrett Glass 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. Also featured is a long, written interview with the cantankerous Hemingway.
