drjonty 's review for:

A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway
5.0

Hemingway's memoir of Paris is a beautifully rendered portrait of a time and a people. His bitchy pen portraits of the famous artists and writers have a pinch of arsenic to them but despite his usual smugness he is also frankly self critical and there's a sadness to the fact this is a happy period he will destroy before the Second World War gets there.
