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.

It is Paris, at the dawn of the Années folles.
There's Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Pound, Stein, Joyce, and an account of their lives, struggles and exploits. Combined with enough booze to sink a ship.
I started reading a Moveable Feast one night in bed, and before I knew it, I had read the entire book before closing my eyes.

I realized that I just don’t care about 20s Paris and these silly authors.
