Ernest Hemingway was 27 when his debut novel The Sun also Rises was published in 1926. His novels, story collections, and non-fiction are classics of American literature, characterized by their pared down language and distinct grammar, often borrowed from Spanish. Easily parodied, but not successfully emulated, Hemingway was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature “for his mastery of the art of narrative and influence he has exerted on contemporary style.” Read Who Cares? about the struggle for dignity at Woodruff Home for the Aged, “a lively place where old people go to die.” Learn more about the book and its characters, aged 9-90, in NOVELS.
