In Conversation: Lesley Blume with Gay Talese

In the summer of 1925, Ernest Hemingway and a clique of companions traveled to Pamplona, Spain, for the town's infamous running of the bulls. That trip's series of drunken brawls, sexual rivalry, midnight betrayals and midday hangovers served as the material for The Sun Also Rises, Hemingway's redefining work of modern literature.

Join Lesley Blume and bestselling author and journalist Gay Talese for a discussion of Blume's Everybody Behaves Badly: The True Story Behind Hemingway’s Masterpiece The Sun Also Rises, a vivid exploration of the stories behind Hemingway's masterpiece in the context of the restless 1920s of Paris and Spain. Blume and Talese discuss how Hemingway and the surrounding circle of friends who came to be known as the Lost Generation continue to influence how we think about youth, sex, love and excess.
