Jag börjar förstå den koncisa prosan. Inte smält den än dock. Den har en slagkraft. Vacker, mysig bok men förstår inte vem Hemingway var. Denna boken hjälpte inte. Man kommer inte nära honom. Kan inte skaka av mig en känsla av förljugenhet när jag läser koncis prosa.
Imposible no leer este libro si no venís a Paris. Describe cómo ser un inmigrante en esta ciudad que a pesar de ser hermosa también puede ser muy áspera especialmente en invierno.
Ernest Hemingway's writing is always easy to read. This is a collection of memoirs from his time in Paris in his early 20s. While it's interesting to hear his stories from the time, the stories are so oddly collected and organized in decreasing order of completion that by the end you've read the same passage rewritten a few times. May be a better read for a more dedicated fan of Hemingway, trying to understand his process.
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.
