Many consider The Sun Also Rises to be Ernest Hemingway's best and most important work.
Most are unaware it's original title was Fiesta.

"Ernie, this one is gold, pure gold ... but 'Fiesta' just ain't gonna cut it.
It's just the same old same old.
We need to jazz it up with some of that deep shit you're always going on and on about after few of those Cuban daquiris you like.
How 'bout 'Decadent, Dissolute, and Damaged'?
Huh? Like the three D's?
Com'on ... Ernie ... bubala ... work with me here.
It's late and we gotta get this baby to press before the sun rises ..."
