A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway
Published: Vintage 2000 but originally published in 1964
This is a collection of Hemingway's memories of living in Paris with his first wife Hadley and a variety of friends and aquaintences including the Fitzgeralds, Joyce, Pound, Stein and Ford to name a few.
It is full of fascinating descriptions of places and people, reading Hemingway's spare prose is like having him narrate his life to me. I hear him through his clear, matter-of-fact statements as he moves around the salons and cafes of Paris and beyond.
I am sure to dip in and out of this book again and again.
