Novel adding to its setting? (3,3,4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

the sun also rises

'novel' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for the sun also rises that I've seen before include "novel" , "Literary work" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
