I loved it way more than I’d expected! When I picked it up, I didn’t know I’d read a kind of autobiographical book about Ernest Hemingways time in Paris during the twenties. Having watched “Midnight in Paris” for the first time a couple of months before, reading the point of view of Hemingway made it even more compelling.
This is like writer's porn. Hemingway dishes the dirt on Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitz, and many more of the Lost Generation. I'm an avowed Hemingway-hater, but now I have to rethink my entire attitude towards him.
The only Hemingway that I liked, and actually loved. It helped that I read it immediately following my trip to Paris and could trace Hemingway's routes through the rues and along the Seine, but I also think this book is written differently, in a more confessional tone, with observations that were more reflective and profound than in his other works, and with descriptions of people and places and feelings that I trusted more. It also helped that it was hilarious and biting and gave us a spicy inner look into the lives of famous writers from the Lost Generation.
something about the way hemingway writes makes me not able to focus at ALL.
i think, more than anything, this made me want to read some of zelda fitzgerald's works

No me extrañaría constatar que Woody Allen se inspiró mucho en este libro al incluir a Corey Stoll como Hemingway en "Midnight in Paris", sus días sentado en cafés mientras trabajaba escribiendo cuentos, artículos y novelas, y sus encuentros con otros artistas quedan clarísimos en este relato del autor. Además, la forma en que pinta París en sus narraciones es extraordinaria.

I'm not surprised Hemingway never submitted this for publication himself. It feels a quarter finished. Interesting though, I suppose, but in the way TMZ is interesting.
