EVERYBODY BEHAVES BADLY
Summer, Twenty-five-year-old Ernest Hemingway descended upon Pamplona, Spain, for its infamous annual bullfight fiesta with a tempestuous entourage in tow, including a femme fatale British aristocrat, a brash, handsome heir who hailed from two of New York’s great Jewish fortunes, one of America’s most celebrated comedic writers, and a down-on-his-luck childhood friend with a penchant for cynical wit. The holiday quickly spiraled into a morass of sexual rivalry, gory spectacle, brutal hangovers, and black eyes – and gave Hemingway the material he desperately needed to make his breakthrough as a novelist.
Over the next six weeks, he channeled that trip’s maelstrom into his groundbreaking debut novel, The Sun Also Rises. Upon the release of this revolutionary work — which essentially recast all of that bad behavior as high literature — Hemingway was crowned the voice of his “lost” generation and the leader of the modernist movement in fiction, an honorific that still belongs to him today.
Everybody Behaves Badly was first released in hardcover and e-book on June 7, by Eamon Dolan Books/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the publication of The Sun Also Rises.

In an earlier post, I shared my thoughts on Ernest Hemingway&#;s first novel, The Sun Also Rises. I read it, because I was given Everybody Behaves Badly, Lesley M. M. Blume&#;s nonfiction account of how that novel was written. Now that I&#;ve read Blume&#;s book, I&#;m really glad I took the time to read Hemingway&#;s novel first. Everybody Behaves Badly (The title is taken from a line the character Jake Barnes says: &#;Everybody behaves badly, given a chance.&#;) is the fascinating story of how Hemingway was driven to be a famous writer from his first days as a reporter.
He was a master of self-promotion, managing to get introduced to all the right people at the right times. After he married Hadley Richardson, who was his biggest cheerleader, they planned to honeymoon in Italy, where he had done some war reporting. However, his writing had impressed the then-popular writer Sherwood Anderson, and he urged them to go to Paris. He even provided Hemingway with letters of introduction to all the &#;best&#; artists of Paris&#; thriving modernist community.
Thanks to Anderson&#;s introductions, Hemingway soon ingr
