“In an American Literature class, the professor told us The Sun Also Rises was boring on purpose. Apparently, Hemingway was trying to capture Europe's useless frivolity from the 1920s-or something. I had read elsewhere that Hemingway loved every minute of his time over there, and when I said as much the teacher replied, "In this class we go through the author's intentions and into what the book actually was."What I learned: Hemingway should have taken a Hemingway class.”
