The best things said about it
I love The Sun Also Rises, Hemingway.
The quote I like is Hemingway's quote from The Sun Also Rises. Now 100 years ago, one of the characters goes bankrupt and another character says, 'How does a man go bankrupt?' And famously he says two ways gradually than suddenly.
I'm listening to Hemingway right now, The Sun Also Rises, it's really great.

Why people recommend it
The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway is a classic Lost Generation novel chronicling the disillusionment, travels, and romantic entanglements of a group of American and British expatriates in Europe. Aryeh Bourkoff expressed his enduring love for the novel on The Tim Ferriss Show, while Steven Pressfield noted on The Rich Roll Podcast that he was reading the book for roughly the tenth time, admiring its unmatched precision and descriptive prose. The novel is also frequently invoked for its famous philosophical observations. Chuck Bryant discussed the work on Stuff You Should Know to trace the origins of the phrase Lost Generation coined by Gertrude Stein and immortalized by Hemingway. Bob Wachter, Michael Munger, Peggy Noonan, and James Sexton all referenced the iconic dialogue regarding how a person goes bankrupt—famously described as happening in two ways, gradually and then suddenly—to illustrate phenomena ranging from healthcare technology adoption and economic shifts to the slow, steady dissolution of personal marriages. Through both its exquisite literary craftsmanship and its unforgettable existential maxims, Hemingway's timeless novel continues to resonate deeply across contemporary cultural, economic, and psychological discussions.

“Ernest Hemingway once wrote of a character in one of his books who was asked how he went bankrupt and the character replied in two ways gradually and then all of a sudden and I think Brinkley's book really shows how history tells us climate action might proceed along a similar course as we see you know temperature indexes combinations”
