The True Story Of The Booze, Bullfights, And Brawls That Inspired Ernest Hemingway’s 'The Sun Also Rises"

 Vanity Fair offers an excerpt from Lesley M. M. Blume's Everybody Behaves Badly: Hemingway's Masterpiece The Sun Also Rises, a book that covers the back story of Hemingway's great novel about expatriates from the 1920s.

Ernest Hemingway’s debut novel gave a voice to the Lost Generation—often by lifting it directly from his affluent expat circle in post-war Paris. A new book by Lesley M. M. Blume recounts the scandalous trip to Pamplona that inspired Jake Barnes, Lady Brett Ashley, Robert Cohn, and the characters from literature’s greatest roman à clef.
