A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway
4.0

Romanticized or not, what a privilege to get a glimpse into Hemingway's life as a very poor, yet very happy, writer living in Paris. He suggests that readers regard this book as fiction if they prefer, so one can assume that all fact includes some fabrication. Nevertheless, his exchanges with the likes of Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and James Joyce contain an undeniable and beautifully tragic component that bears all the markings of the truth.
