In Ernest Hemingway's roman à clef The Sun Also Rises, a thinly veiled set of characters based on the author and his own acquaintances drunkenly carouse their way through post-World War I Europe.

Jakes Barnes, a stand-in for Hemingway, and Robert Cohn, who represents writer Harold Loeb, vie for the attentions of Lady Brett Ashley, also based on a real-life figure.

Bouncing from Spain to France and back again, the trio and their cohort engage in romantic dalliances and fisticuffs. The young bohemians question whether anything has meaning after the great losses of war. This question is particularly poignant for narrator Jake Barnes, whose war injury cripples his happiness.

Nobel Prize-winning American author Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises was published in 1926. Like Jake, Hemingway expatriated to Europe after a devastating World War I injury. Known for his sparse prose, masculine heroes, and art-imitating-life style, Hemingway conveys the disillusionment and heartbreak of a generation who had experienced a war such as the world had never seen before.

The novel The Sun Also Rises contains many enduring themes including the effects of war, as veterans and civilians alike struggle to find meaning after war; masculinity, as the male characters hide their insecurities and hurt egos by drinking heavily, chasing sex, and playing sports; and disillusionment, as trench warfare leads many young soldiers to feel their contributions and lives are meaningless. Important motifs include alcoholism and sex.
