Everybody Behaves Badly: The True Story Behind Hemingway’s Masterpiece The Sun Also Rises - Hardcover
The making of Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, the outsize personalities who inspired it, and the vast changes it wrought on the literary world
In the summer of 1925, Ernest Hemingway and a clique of raucous companions traveled to Pamplona, Spain, for the town’s infamous running of the bulls. Then, over the next six weeks, he channeled that trip’s maelstrom of drunken brawls, sexual rivalry, midnight betrayals, and midday hangovers into his groundbreaking novel The Sun Also Rises. This revolutionary work redefined modern literature as much as it did his peers, who would forever after be called the Lost Generation. But the full story of Hemingway’s legendary rise has remained untold until now. Lesley Blume resurrects the explosive, restless landscape of 1920s Paris and Spain and reveals how Hemingway helped create his own legend. He made himself into a death-courting, bull-fighting aficionado; a hard-drinking, short-fused literary genius; and an expatriate bon vivant. Blume’s vivid account reveals the inner circle of the Lost Generation as we have never seen it before, and shows how it still influences what we read and how we think about youth, sex, love, and excess.

“In this magnificently reported book, Lesley Blume deftly documents the genesis of Ernest Hemingway’s genius.” —Gay Talese
“With impeccable research, delicious details, illuminating insight, and chiaroscuro wit, Lesley Blume has written the bestbook on Hemingway in Paris since A Moveable Feast.” —Charles Scribner III
“This gloriously gossipy, compulsively readable account of Hemingway’s early years in Paris with his first wife, Hadley, and the rest of the ‘Lost Generation’ is a welcome successor to Paula McLain’s novel The Paris Wife. How did Hemingway turn the wild weeks of bullfighting in Pamplona and the alcohol-addled nights in Left Bank cafés into The Sun Also Rises? That’s the serious question at the heart of Blume’s well-researched book.” —Annalyn Swan and Mark Stevens, Pulitzer Prize–winning authors of de Kooning: An American Master
“Blume has carved a mountain of original research into a riveting tale of Hemingway’s literary, romantic, and publishing travails.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
