RE: Who wrote this?
(Yesterday 06:43 AM)AussieMick Wrote: I had some problems getting a copy of The Sun Also Rises from my local public library. ( I have a copy now).This might help from Duck.ai: The documented exchange is: Hemingway told editor Maxwell Perkins the novel’s title came from Ecclesiastes 1:5 (“the sun also ariseth”). Perkins did ask for revisions; Hemingway made some edits but resisted larger structural changes Perkins proposed. Hemingway defended the novel’s tone and endings as intentional; he did not describe it as deliberately leaving readers hopeless in order to avoid Perkins’ requests. Primary evidence comes from their correspondence and publishing history: Perkins pushed for cuts and smoothing; Hemingway accepted some but maintained the book’s austere, often bleak tone and the Ecclesiastes epigraph as appropriate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jonathan Cape saw the title Fiesta as more relevant to European readers since it takes place mostly in Spain and uses the power of the Spanish word in its title. |
