A review by shesjamesevans
A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway
3.0
3.5?
I found hard to get into this book at the beginning. I struggle a lot when reading short things, and these were not short stories, but the lack of plot was -understandable due the type of book- challenging.
But around half way I was all into it. I’m not super smart in regards of writers and artists and I found quite interesting the relationship of Hemingway with all these super writers. Probably it’s his biased point of view, but it’s like super fancy and artistic tabloids.
And his writing it’s just inexplicable. Because it’s poetic in an effortless way, without using tongue twists or overly complicated metaphors or any other tool than his simple words.
And I wish I knew Paris so I could enjoy this more, as people say you do if you knew Paris.
