robwcote 's review for:

A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway

5.0

---

This is a beautiful book. It's not an exciting book, but the writing is near-perfect and the place and time it inhabits feel real and appealing, despite the discomfort Hemingway expresses many times throughout. It's a thoughtful account of the simplicity of an artist's life, and one that I think would captivate no matter whether you had been to Paris, read Hemingway (or the works of his friends who pop up in the story), or had any interest in spending a modest time among characters of modest means.
