Partying hard and losing friends!

'Fiesta: The Sun Also Rises' by Ernest Hemingway is a roman-à-clef depicting 1920's life in Europe after WW1. It is told from the point of view of Jake Barnes an American expat living in France. He joins his friends for a week long party in Pamplona to watch the running of the bulls but it all turns into a drunken fiasco.

I summarised the book as follows. "Hemingway's style is as unique as he was. It can kind of seem unrealistic due to the amount of partying, alcohol and lack of sleep, but there are some pretty wild people in this world. I enjoyed it for the prose but am not a fan of non-consensual violence, even if it was intriguing to learn about the atmosphere of the fiesta and bullfighting."

I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
