Neither Gertrude Stein nor Ernest Hemingway coined the term "Lost Generation" to refer to post-World War I young people. Its origin occurred during a trip she took in the French countryside in the early 1920's. Her car needed work, and she stopped at a remote garage. The young mechanic did a poor repair job. His old employer said to him in frustration, "You are all a lost generation." Hemingway took note of the phrase. He later used it as the epigraph for his novel, The Sun Also Rises (1926). Stein later described this sequence of events in her memoir The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas.

As this page is subset of Generation#Western_world, doesn't it seem unrelated, even misleading, to include the name of this non-Western person, as they are not truly a member of the Western World's "Lost Generation"? 156.144.108.11 (talk) 16:38, 30 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
