Celebrating 100 Years of The Sun Also Rises: Finding Meaning in a New "Lost Generation"

Join us for a lively discussion of Ernest Hemingway’s groundbreaking debut novel, The Sun Also Rises. Published in 1926, this novel shocked critics and readers with his raw depictions of drinking, desire, and ennui. 

Share your thoughts and explore the parallels between the post-WWI generation and the social climate of 2026. 

We’ll discuss the following:

  • The Post-Pandemic Generation vs. Lost Generation

  • Digital Escapism vs. Liquid Escapism

  • Red Pill Masculinity vs. Post-War Masculinity 

A copy of The Sun Also Rises In Our Time is available for purchase at the Dandelion Bookshop or Hemingway Birthplace Museum.

These are free events, no tickets required, limited beverage service will be available.
