Summary

Hemingway's memories of his life as an unknown writer living in Paris in the twenties are deeply personal, warmly affectionate, and full of wit。 Looking back not only at his own much younger self, but also at the other writers who shared Paris with him - James Joyce, Wyndham Lewis, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald - he recalls the time when, poor, happy, and writing in cafes, he discovered his vocation。 Written during the last years of Hemingway's life, his memoir is a lively and powerful reflection of his genius that scintillates with the romance of the city。

Very lyrically written and idyllic and nostalgic in a lost youth kind of way, but Hemingway is a dick, and no one can romanticize being hungry for me。

Osborne

Interesting and a good read。

Stella

I love his style of writing and there were many eloquently quotable lines; the descriptions of writing in a Parisian cafe were so heartwarming, so even though I doubted I would enjoy a Hemingway memoir, I really loved this。 But my favourite part was where Hemingway thirsts for Scott Fitzgerald over two pages then in the next chapter outs the fact he had a small dick, couldn’t hold his drink, and was illiterate。 10/10 for that energy。

Hemingway admits that his memory was failing by the time he wrote many of the stories in A Moveable Feast。 It's not nearly as structured or captivating as his great novels like A Farewell to Arms。 Nor is it as Midnight-in-Paris light and mystical。 But Hemingway fans won't be disappointed。 Like usual, his stories are amusing at face value and deep once you catch the metaphors。 By the end, I was yearning to spend a few months in Paris and another few in the Austrian Alps。 Hemingway admits that his memory was failing by the time he wrote many of the stories in A Moveable Feast。 It's not nearly as structured or captivating as his great novels like A Farewell to Arms。 Nor is it as Midnight-in-Paris light and mystical。 But Hemingway fans won't be disappointed。 Like usual, his stories are amusing at face value and deep once you catch the metaphors。 By the end, I was yearning to spend a few months in Paris and another few in the Austrian Alps。 。。。more

I am not sure what I expected but it is not what I read。It was interesting to read of Hemingway's thoughts during events in his life as a writer。 His comments about some of his contemporaries made me want to read more about their lives。Many of the events are the same as detailed in other books about Hemingway by other authors。 I am not sure what I expected but it is not what I read。It was interesting to read of Hemingway's thoughts during events in his life as a writer。 His comments about some of his contemporaries made me want to read more about their lives。Many of the events are the same as detailed in other books about Hemingway by other authors。 。。。more

It's interesting to see the heavyweights of the 20s hang out before they were big deals, just hungry artists discussing ideas in cafes。I've come to appreciate Hemingway's close prose more。 He gives his adjectives to the things he feels strongly about:"For luck you carried a horse chestnut and a rabbit's foot in your right pocket。 The fur had been worn off the rabbit's foot long ago and the bones and the sinews were polished by wear。 The claws scratched in the lining of your pocket and you knew y It's interesting to see the heavyweights of the 20s hang out before they were big deals, just hungry artists discussing ideas in cafes。I've come to appreciate Hemingway's close prose more。 He gives his adjectives to the things he feels strongly about:"For luck you carried a horse chestnut and a rabbit's foot in your right pocket。 The fur had been worn off the rabbit's foot long ago and the bones and the sinews were polished by wear。 The claws scratched in the lining of your pocket and you knew your luck was still there。"and knows when to laugh at himself:"Hem," he said, and I knew he was a critic now since, in conversation, they put your name at the beginning of a sentence rather than at the end, "I have to tell you I find your work just a little too stark。""Too bad," I said。"Hem it's too stripped, too lean。""Bad luck。""Hem too stark, too stripped, too lean, too sinewy。"I felt the rabbit's foot in my pocket guiltily。He cuts the qualifiers of his opinion and judgment and states them as facts, combined with on point dialogue。 。。。more

This is a pretty quick read and I was pretty disappointed。 I looked forward to getting some insight into the times of Hemingway in Paris, but there wasn't a whole lot of action or the characters doing much more than sitting around at cafes and bars having brief uninteresting conversations。 The final quarter of the book was interesting as it involved F。 Scott Fitzgerald and they did more than sit and talk, but otherwise, I wasn't really impressed。 This is a pretty quick read and I was pretty disappointed。 I looked forward to getting some insight into the times of Hemingway in Paris, but there wasn't a whole lot of action or the characters doing much more than sitting around at cafes and bars having brief uninteresting conversations。 The final quarter of the book was interesting as it involved F。 Scott Fitzgerald and they did more than sit and talk, but otherwise, I wasn't really impressed。 。。。more

Someone : “ what’s your favorite book?” Me : 🤲🏻 This book is the only book from Ernest Hemingway which I enjoyed , it’s quick , it’s captivating , I love that it’s written in short stories, I love Paris in the 1920s , and I love the mention of his famous friends such as Ezra Pound and Fitzgerald。 I also cried a bit 。

An important but truly bland book written when Hemingway was “young and not yet gloomy” (his words)。 Published posthumously from an unfinished manuscript (an act that scandalized Joan Didion because Hemingway was so fastidious about final drafts, refusing even to share a late draft of The Sun Also Rises to F。 Scott Fitzgerald)。 I particularly enjoyed Hemingway’s use of “toe jam” to describe a fellow writer。From the New York Times, for context: Hemingway (''a mediocre author,'' in Professor Anne An important but truly bland book written when Hemingway was “young and not yet gloomy” (his words)。 Published posthumously from an unfinished manuscript (an act that scandalized Joan Didion because Hemingway was so fastidious about final drafts, refusing even to share a late draft of The Sun Also Rises to F。 Scott Fitzgerald)。 I particularly enjoyed Hemingway’s use of “toe jam” to describe a fellow writer。From the New York Times, for context: Hemingway (''a mediocre author,'' in Professor Anne Higonnet's view) and his friends in the ''lost generation'' were truly lost in Paris。 They did not speak French and were uninterested in the art or culture of the French people around them。 For Hemingway and most of his friends, Paris was one long binge, all the more enjoyable because it wasn't very expensive。 。。。more

I love Hemingway’s writing style。 Typically in his novels I find his brusque, maybe even brutal style, refreshing。 This is not a novel but a collection of writings that cover his time living in Paris in the 20s when his time was spent developing his craft and spending time on the Left Bank with other literary luminaries as F Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound et al。Very interesting accounts and anecdotes of some of literature’s great and often not so good!

Read this on the plane the first (and so far only) time I flew to Paris。 Can’t imagine a better primer to the city, nor one from a better writer than Hemingway。 By turns heartbreaking and funny, it transported me。 And, wow, did I want a drink after about every chapter。

Hemingway's descriptions are astute, memorable, and frequently quite funny。 I found this the most endearing aspect of this book, particularly as it pertained to his experiences in Paris and in the Austrian Tyrol。 I enjoyed his depictions of his relationship with Ezra Pound, with John Dos Passos, with James Joyce, with Gertrude Stein, but he devotes the most space in this volume to his relationship with F。 Scott Fitzgerald, whose friendship he obviously valued greatly but whose alcoholism and sel Hemingway's descriptions are astute, memorable, and frequently quite funny。 I found this the most endearing aspect of this book, particularly as it pertained to his experiences in Paris and in the Austrian Tyrol。 I enjoyed his depictions of his relationship with Ezra Pound, with John Dos Passos, with James Joyce, with Gertrude Stein, but he devotes the most space in this volume to his relationship with F。 Scott Fitzgerald, whose friendship he obviously valued greatly but whose alcoholism and self-centeredness were a source of considerable difficulty (a charge that can and has been fairly leveled against Hemingway himself, as it happens)。 As with all memoirs, this is one person's selective and skewed montage of memory--sometimes accurate, often not--but as literature it works quite well in communicating a series of feelings, moods, and formative experiences。 。。。more
