This Robert Fellow

After the first four chapters, I'm still lost on where this novel, The Sun Also Rises, is going. After the first two, I was certain that the novel was going to be about Robert Cohn. He was the only person talked about in detail, and Hemingway seems to think we need to know an awful lot about him. Why we need to know about the "inferiority and shyness he had felt on being treated as a Jew at Princeton," (page 11) I don't know. Apparently it is going to be useful information later, as are all of the other details we receive early in the book. Randomly in the third chapter, the narrator shifts his focus to himself and Lady Brett, as well as Cohn and a few others. Cohn really isn't talked about much after the monologue at the beginning.
The back of the book tells me that some "brutal bullfighting rings" are going to be involved in the novel somehow. Unless the five bars and three cabs that they've been in so far are metaphors for bullfighting, the real plot hasn't shown itself yet. The novel is a bit boring at this point, but that is expected. I'm looking forward to seeing where the plot and characters go from this point. I'm not a big book fan, but for a book, this isn't bad.
