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. This work showcases his concise, economical style and his focus on the Lost Generation—the postwar disillusionment of American and European expatriates. The story follows Jake Barnes and his circle as they drift through Paris and ultimately Spain, capturing the mood and tensions of the 1920s. The other writers are prominent figures in American literature but did not author this novel: F. Scott Fitzgerald is known for The Great Gatsby, John Steinbeck for works like Of Mice and Men, and William Faulkner for The Sound and the Fury.
