A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition
by Ernest Hemingway
"You told me you didn't like Hemingway," my librarian/author friend messaged me recently. "[A Moveable Feast] is probably one of the three most beautiful books I've ever read."
"I read [b:The Paris Wife|8683812|The Paris Wife|Paula McLain|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1320545874l/8683812._SX50_.jpg|13556031]," I quipped. She hadn't heard of it. "It's a novel based on his first marriage."
"Ah! This is too, only it's true," she replied. "You will read all this crazy shit about authors and then as it winds down the sucker will tie it all together and break your heart. AND then there are these fragments they have in the Hemingway museum that they include. It's like 15 different handwritten conclusions he had decided against and it's really interesting to see the lines he put in every single one because he thought they were important."
One of those conclusions: This book is fiction and should be read as such. It may throw some light on other books that have been written as fact. I apologize to Hadley for any mis-representations or mistakes or for any errors. She is the heroine of the stories and I hope she understands. She deserves everything good in life including accurate reporting.
I read it, and I'm still going to say Hemingway is not my cup of tea, but I might give him another try sometime. I mean, he was friends with [a:F. Scott Fitzgerald|3190|F.
