More than any other writer, he championed a code of existence that prized action over idleness, knowledge over ignorance, courage over cowardice, and grace under pressure. The Sun Also Rises is an emblem of his belief that life can be lived in ways that make it seem as full as fiction. No one who has read anything by Hemigway can forget his precise descriptions of places and people. He has written about virtually every place that he has lived or visited. His books probaby belong in the pantheon of world rather than American literature.
