caladium's review against another edition
5.0
Me encantó. Siendo tan cortito, me tomé un tiempo para leerlo y disfrutarlo. Si bien al principio no entendía el ritmo de las oraciones, al par de páginas se le encuentra y toma una cadencia bastante magnética y difícil de entender cómo lo logra con tan poca puntuación y tanta fluidez. Siempre da gusto leer libros así, tener una ventana a lo que pasaba hace 100 años, ver el amor de la gente por la cuidad y cómo se influyen nuevamente, atisbar el actuar de otros notables escritores y sentir cómo vivían "bien", siendo pobres pero felices. Recomendable, aunque no para todo el mundo.

I enjoyed the parts about living and writing in Paris and being poor but happy. The parts concerning Fitzgerald depressed me and the final chapter was bittersweet. I think that’s a good summation of the entire book– bittersweet.

I was lucky enough to pick this up at Shakespeare and Company in Paris back in 2022, when I visited for a weekend. My copy has the lovely stamp on the first page and it came with a lovely cat bookmark too!
Loved reading about Hemingway’s adventures in the city, especially with the Fitzgeralds (found it HILARIOUS that Fitzgerald was self-conscious about his size so he asked Hemingway to look at it and give his opinion
