"A Moveable Feast"   
     by Ernest Hemingway

A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway: Book Cover
2011 Book Review #22


Summary: 

Published posthumously in 1964, A Moveable Feast remains one of Ernest Hemingway's most beloved works. 

It is his classic memoir of Paris in the 1920s, filled with irreverent portraits of other expatriate luminaries such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein; tender memories of his first wife, Hadley; and insightful recollections of his own early experiments with his craft. 

It is a literary feast, brilliantly evoking the exuberant mood of Paris after World War I and the youthful spirit, unbridled creativity, and unquenchable enthusiasm that Hemingway himself epitomized.  

My Thought:  I found this book interesting in a quite and charming way.  Hemingway makes it easy to picture life during that period of time.
