The Sun Also Rises is a novel by which author?

• A. F. Scott Fitzgerald
• B. Ernest Hemingway
• C. John Steinbeck
• D. William Faulkner

Answer: (B)

Ernest Hemingway wrote The Sun Also Rises. Published in 1926, it stands as a defining example of the Lost Generation, depicting American and British expatriates navigating post–World War I disillusionment in Paris and Spain. Hemingway’s prose is famously spare and direct, with an iceberg theory approach: the surface tells the events, but much of the meaning lies beneath the words through what’s left unsaid. That distinctive voice and these settings point squarely to Hemingway as the author. The other writers listed are admired for different works and styles, but the combination of the expatriate milieu and Hemingway’s concise, restrained storytelling is what identifies this novel.
