The Sun Also Rises (Ernest Hemingway, 1926)
American expats in Paris go to Pamplona for bullfights. Post WWI disaffection theme (?) Main character = Jake; female character (Brett) is just leading guys around, including the lead bullfighter; Jake tires of Robert Cohn, who is misled by Brett and is annoying.
I understand this is the book that made Hemingway famous, led to folks imitating his spare writing style, etc. I didn't like it very much, far prefer For Whom the Bell Tolls and A Farewell to Arms.
