This is a very well written commentary. I just reread The Sun Also Rises (I first read it in high school 45 years ago), and was uncomfortable with the antisemitism — not so much the criticism of the immature behavior of Robert Cohn (which was certainly no worse than the other characters), but the outright criticism of him being a Jew. As the author of this commentary explains so eloquently, times have changed and this wouldn’t be acceptable today.
