Cover synopsis: Published for the first time as Ernest Hemingway intended, one of the great writer's most enduring works: his classic memoir of Paris in the 1920s.
I thought I would like this more than I did. A Moveable Feast certainly had its moments -- for instance, I loved any chapter that included F. Scott Fitzgerald and his rather strange personality. And there were flashes of brilliance where Hemingway talked about his writing process.
But overall, the book was disjointed and confusing. He would allude to things that happened later and then never answer the questions he raised. (Such as the breakdown of his marriage? What happened there?) He dishes on many famous names, including Gertrude Stein and Ezra Pound. But most of the others he talks about, I had never heard of. So maybe I would have liked the book more if I were more "in the know."
But as it is, I found it only to be a moveable snack, at most.
