The Sun Also Rises Review
I found The Sun Also Rises a disappointingly ordinary book from a purportedly extraordinary author.

A Meal to Live For Release and Author’s Note

A Rejection is Published!
It is published in Sci Phi Journal, which publishes some very interesting and thought provoking pieces.
