Question

Which of these characteristics would typically be found in a work by a lost generation writer?

Answer 1

The answer is A: a feeling of disillusionment.

The lost generation, a term supposedly coined by Gertrude Stein and popularized by Hemingway, was a generation of American writers who, for the most part, made Paris the center of their literary creation and who, after the horrors and the disillusionment that brought about World War I, lost faith in their inherited cultural and artistic values becoming a generation of writers who were not only disillusioned with their realities but also alienated from their own cultures. Fitzgerald, E.E. Cummins, and John Dos Passos, are some other representatives of this generation.
