A great story about nothing in particular. Makes you feel like you were there.

The classic American novel is beginning to show its age. Its casual racism and antisemitism places it squarely in its time period, but it detracts from the power of the prose. The bar scenes in Paris and the bull fights in Spain are very well done. The third part was my favorite, when Jake sheds all of the hangers-on and is able to relax momentarily in San Sebastián.

Besides the racism, bull fighting and tiresome female characters it was lovely listening to what small towns in Spain were like nearly a hundred years ago.
