- Annotation
- Drawing on critical and historical studies that link battlefield experience with sexual anxieties and homoeroticism, the author posits that numerous episodes in The Sun Also Rises can be interpreted as evidence. At the same time, expressions of hypermasculinity often mask homosexual desires. Alnawaiseh writes, "The combination of the wounded phallus and residues of same-gender attraction complicate Jake's life."
