In this novel, Hemingway illustrates the disillusionment among the 'lost generation' of the 1920s and brings to light the conflicts of identity. The characters are 'lost' in the sense that their inner identities conflict with the projected, performed identities they show to the rest of society. While the language is simple and emotionless, Hemingway laces meaning in his words in the same way that the characters hide their true emotions in their direct speech. The narrative …

Another classic literature novel that I just didn't enjoy the way I should have.

This book is good because Hemingway is good even though some people do not like how he lied about his service and some of his experiences. Hemingway should definitely not be someones only source of literature.
