tonyalit 's review for:
A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition
by Ernest Hemingway
I felt so much heart in this. Hemingway's passion for Paris and food brought those moments to life. But my goodness, the insight of a great writer's mind... to know I think the same of the process was encouraging.
After having read The Paris Wife a while back I truly wanted to read Hemingway's take on their lives and it was lovely - when he focused on Hadley. The book did seem to be a testament to not only Paris, but his marriage. "The Pilot Fish" chapter was perhaps one of the most painful and heartwrenching to read as he sought to figure out the demise of his marriage and the ultimate loss of his best friend.
"... I wish I had died before I loved anyone but her." He wrote of Hadley. That gripped me.
Hemingway's accounts with his fellow writers was a wondrous dive into that whole world in Paris. His thoughts of Gertrude Stein's "Lost Generation" were quite interesting. He countered them - in the book - giving me the chance to look at it differently too.
