This is my third time through The Sun Also Rises, and I was struck, yet again—a good ten years after having last read this—at the enjoyability of the text. It’s funny and lively, and, when approached as a period piece, it’s quite transporting. Of course, the pacing is also wonderful—I’m always impressed with Hemingway’s clarity, conciseness, and control (iceberg method indeed…). This time around I tried to involved myself more with the characters, and I quickly realized that, while everyone is grappling with their own specific issue (each is “lost” in their own way), each struggle is paralleled in some way with (an)other character(s)—for instance, the shared attraction of Cohn, Barnes, and Campbell with Brett; or, more metaphorically, Jake’s impotence and Brett’s seeming inability to truly love one person. Thus, we truly are presented with a "lost generation," and the connective threads are these shared struggles. And, yet, as I already mentioned, there is a vitality in the novel, which stems from optimism and passion (however melancholic and nostalgic at times) that I hadn’t really noticed before. Hemingway seems very convinced, in an almost religious / moralistic way (for better or for worse), that there is hope for these characters, and this conviction is what gives the novel a mission, or even a plot (of sorts). It also imbues the text with an energy and joie de vivre, the roots of which I’d not fully grasped in previous readings.
