The Secret of My Succe$s
(Connection between "The Sun Also Rises" - review:
Quote:This is the story of a loose group of American & British expatriates in Paris & Spain in the 1920's.
They lounge about cafes, drinking wine, bickering, brawling & lusting after Lady Bret Ashley. None of the characters are at all likable and nothing really happens.
Without delving too deeply into psychobabble, the most interesting facet of the book is that the first person narrator, Jake Barnes, was emasculated during WWI.
Change characters, time, setting - voila, IMHO
