Everybody Behaves Badly: The True Story Behind Hemingway’s

Everybody Behaves Badly: The True Story Behind Hemingway’s Masterpiece The Sun Also Rises

The making of Ernest Hemingway'sÂ The Sun Also Rises, the outsize personalities who inspired it, and the vast changes it wrought on the literary world

In the summer of 1925, Ernest Hemingway and a clique of raucous companions traveled to Pamplona, Spain, for the townâ€™s infamous running of the bulls. Then, over the next six weeks, he channeled that tripâ€™s maelstrom of drunken brawls, sexual rivalry, midnight betrayals, and midday hangovers into his groundbreaking novelÂ The Sun Also Rises. This revolutionary work redefined modern literature as much as it did his peers, who would forever after be called the Lost Generation. But the full story of Hemingwayâ€™s legendary rise has remained untold until now.Â
Â
Lesley Blume resurrects the explosive, restless landscape of 1920s Paris and Spain and reveals how Hemingway helped create his own legend. He made himself into a death-courting, bull-fighting aficionado; a hard-drinking, short-fused literary genius; and an expatriate bon vivant. Blumeâ€™s vivid account reveals the inner circle of the Lost Generation as we have never seen it before, and shows how it still influences what we read and how we think about youth, sex, love, and excess.Â
