Without the ending‚ the book would hardly amount to half of its true value. This is because the ending shows what the book is really about. If one does not read the last part of the book‚ one will not be able to see the crucial meaning

In this excerpt‚ Cochran disagrees with the body of criticism which finds The Sun Also Rises overtly cynical‚ focusing instead on the circularity of the human condition. Emphasis in the considerable body of criticism in print on The Sun Also Rises rests with the cynicism and world-weariness to be found in the novel. Although Lionel Trilling in 1939 afforded his readers a salutary‚ corrective view‚ most commentators have found the meaning inherent in the pattern of the work despairing. Perhaps most
