Chapter 12
Explanation and Analysis:
The Sun Also Rises is set in the 1920s and predominantly unfolds between Paris, France and Pamplona, Spain. A brief interlude also occurs in Burguete – Auritz, a small town in northern Spain where Jake and Bill go on their fishing trip. The urban locations of Paris and Pamplona host most of the chaos of the novel; Paris is home to a self-destructive litany of writers and artists, while Pamplona brings renewed debauchery thanks to its grand fiesta and bull fights.
