"An absorbing, beautifully and tenderly absurd, heartbreaking narrative... a truly gripping story... magnificent." -The New York Times "The Sun Also Rises is a novel of great silence. Something central is hidden, which the reader discovers little by little. The characters are rich, interesting, fascinating, and a little bit tragic, as Hemingway's characters always are." -Mario Vargas Llosa "Hemingway writes as if he had never read anybody's writing, as if he had fashioned the art of writing himself." -The Atlantic "The Sun Also Rises introduced me to a kind of exotica, a glamour, a life that I couldn't believe. I was seduced by it." -Edna O'Brien
