A Moveable Feast
by Ernest Hemingway
I enjoyed reading A Moveable Feast. I love all things Paris and to me, almost every word written by Ernest Hemingway is romantic. There is something beautiful about his prose. While I throughly enjoyed the book I did not give it 4 stars because in typical Hemingway fashion it lacks certain details and I am just not that familiar with Paris in the 1920s. I couldn't look every thing up so I continued along. I read reviews that criticize the book for how long he described Gertrude Stein F Scott Fitzgerald and the famous scene where he asks Hemingway to answer him truly. I took his description of these writers to be his true feelings at the time, though maybe bitter. I think the mistake here is that he is placed on a pedestal and it seems wrong for him to paint them in such a light. However, if that's what he felt then so be it. I am not here to judge, simply to enjoy the book.
