Jake Barnes
The Sun Also Rises
A character not so loosely inspired by his novel’s writer (Ernest Hemingway), Jake Barnes of The Sun Also Rises is a passionate, adventurous, but, ultimately, broken man. He’s the kind of lost soul that’s endlessly entrancing, but doesn’t necessarily make for the healthiest boo. Still, we’d make that hotline bling and dive into a wine-soaked evening with him any time.
Those who were aficionados could always get rooms even when the hotel was full. Montoya introduced me to some of them. They were always very polite at first, and it amused them very much that I should be American. Somehow it was taken for granted that an American could not have afición.
