This is the best thing I’ve read from Hemingway. Have always been turned off by his of-the-era racism, misogyny, and homophobia, but that’s just par for the course and I try to overlook it.
The writing here is crisp and clear and he recounts one of the golden ages that any artist would love to have been a part of. Gertrude Stein seems as horrible as she must have been - a rich dilettante who saw herself as a the gatekeeper of modernism. Others come and go, and it’s a treat to get impressions from that scene. The tragic figure here is Fitzgerald, of course, who never lived to see his work get the proper respect it deserved.
