- Title
Wasted Bulls and Fungus-Ridden Fish: Waste, Travel, and Entitlement in Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises.
- Authors
Bishop, Andrew
- Abstract
The Sun Also Rises (1926) reveals Hemingway’s prescient concerns about the negative impact of mass-tourism on non-human life. But rather than engaging in a full-blown critique of commercial travel, Hemingway instead constructs a difference between tourists like Robert Cohn and the “damned Biarritz swine” and travelers like Jake Barnes. Although the latter rely on the same economic structures as the former, they have, in Hemingway’s eyes, the war wounds and afición which lend them the capacity and the right to enjoy “natural things,” regardless of the social or environmental costs of their enjoyment.
