An excerpt from the article 49 facts about Ernest Hemingway
Gertrude Stein, one of the most influential authors of modernism, became Hemingway’s mentor. She introduced him to the émigré artists and writers of the Montparnasse district, whom she called the Lost Generation. She used this name to describe the generation of American writers who grew up during World War I. Hemingway popularized the term in one of two contrasting epigraphs of his debut novel, “The Sun Also Rises,” published in 1926. Gertrude Stein counted among the Lost Generation such artists as Francis Scott Fitzgerald, T. S. Eliot, James Joyce, Sherwood Anderson, John Dos Passos, John Steinbeck, William Faulkner, Isadora Duncan, Abraham Walkowitz, Franz Kafka, Henry Miller, Aldous Huxley, Erich Maria Remarque, and composers: Prokofiev, Gershwin, Copland and others.
