A Moveable Feast Customer Reviews
:- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Joseph Sciuto -- Paris in the 20's : Back some twenty years ago the wonderful Joan Didion wrote an article in the New Yorker about Ernest Hemingway and the commercialization of his material that he never felt was ready for publication in his lifetime, but publishers and those in charge of his estate had no problem publishing and, worse, had other writers finish novels that Hemingway started and never finished. After reading that piece, I never read another novel by Hemingway published after his death, except of course for "A Moveable Feast." ( Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2018 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from ulysses4 -- Uneven But Enchanting : This is a posthumous book comprised of fragments. Some of the writing is crisp and brilliant; other parts are morose and sophomoric. But overall, we get a good glimpse of Hemingway's mostly happy years in Paris in the mid twenties. The author claims there is more fiction than fact, an arbitrary and unexplained process where he chooses who and what to include and what to leave out. He claims that Ezra Pound and F. Scott Fitzgerald were very close friends, and yet the descriptions of the former are fleeting and those of the latter rather depressing and uncomplimentary. He seems to enjoy trashing Ford Maddox Ford. Sketches of Gertrude Stein and Sylvia Beach are mostly positive, although he gets some digs in on Stein at the end. Vignettes about horse racing, boxing, skiing, drinking flesh out some of the author's interests and milieu. The description of some by now obscure painters and writers shows rapier wit and description. ( Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2018 )
- 3.0 out of 5 stars from Grubb Street Rapscallion -- Excellent Content, Poor Quality Copy : This edition of A Moveable Feast offers insights into Hemingway as he is just beginning his writing career. From the poverty of living and trying to write in poor sections of Paris, to the many friends he acquired there, Hemingway manages to find peace and love with Hadley, his first--and only true love--wife. The three wives that followed benefited from his fame; Hadley was there when he was struggling to survive. ( Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2020 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Houston Sue -- Great read : I love this book. I am not sure why I ddin't read it a long time ago, but I am glad that I finally got around to it. This book is like a mini-vacation, roaming around Paris in the 20's with Earnest Hemingway and all of his starving artist friends. It is a natural companion to "The Paris Wife", which was very popular a few years back. I wish I had read this book before we visited Paris last summer. As far as I can tell, a lot of Paris is unchanged, and we stayed on the left bank where we followed in many of Hemingway's footsteps. I also enjoyed reading "The Lodger," a book which Gertrude Stein recommends to Hemingway when they discuss the best books that they have been reading. It was a lot of fun, feeling like a member of the Hemingway and Gertrude Stein book club, and extended my adventure. ( Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from I. Jones -- Fascinating account of Hemingway's time in 1920s Paris : I read this book after reading In Our Time and it’s fascinating, unbelievable really, to see how Hemingway struggled to see his stories in the early days. This is the author’s memoir of his days as a young writer in Paris. He describes the struggle he had to sell his stories, and when you read In Our Time you wonder what publishers and readers were looking for in those days. It seems to me that the stories in In Our Time would do credit to a much more mature writer than Hemingway was when he wrote them. Yet, at the time he was writing them he and his wife were struggling to pay the bills, counting every penny, skipping meals. And meals are very important to Hemingway. Along with alcohol. As with much of his fiction, when Hemingway has the money, he really digs in and there are plenty of alcohol-fuelled encounters with poets, painters and novelists here. Perhaps the most memorable is a hilarious encounter with F Scott Fitzgerald. They arrange to go to Lyons together to collect Fitzgerald’s car which he and his wife had abandoned there. Despite Hemingway’s careful arrangements, they end up going down to Lyons on different trains and staying in different hotels. Eventually they meet up and collect the car, which turns out to have no roof; and this was the reason they abandoned it as they had no waterproofs either. After a couple of stiff drinks they set off for Paris with Fitzgerald at the wheel, and of course it rains several times and they get completely soaked. They take refuge in a hotel where Fitzgerald turns out to be a flaky hypochondriac. He takes to his bed demanding that Hemingway goes out and finds a thermometer and aspirin, believing he’s now terminally ill with pneumonia and needs to get to an American hospital asap as he can’t trust French doctors. Hemingway, of course, prescribes whisky, which works. I’ll say no more. This is a brilliant memoir, written in Hemingway’s characteristically terse, lean style. It’s poignant when you think about the whole of Hemingway’s career and realise that those early poverty-stricken years when he was struggling to make his name as a writer were probably his happiest and best years, personally and professionally.

- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Shelley Day -- A very fine writer : There can be no doubt that Ernest Hemingway was a very very very fine writer. But I don't think he was a very very very nice man. This is an account of his early years as a writer in Paris, with Hadley his wife and, a bit later, little Bumbly their blond haired rosy cheeked son. This was Paris in the 20s - we now know it was between the Wars - and there were ex-pat writers filling up every cafe terrace. This is Hemingway struggling to get going, single-minded, driven, increasingly obsessed by his Art and by himself as a writer. This is him determined for success, pushing his way forward, clambering over everything, grabbing at anything. No, not a very nice man. But the writing's superb, even if his accounts of fellow writers - Gertrude Stein, Scott Fitzgerald, Ford Madox Ford, Ezra Pound - do err on the side of the ungenerous, even if you wonder where his devoted anchor of a wife is most of the time, even if little Bumby gets hardly a mention; there's no denying the writing's fine. This is Hemingway going for it, really going for it, before success comes and, well, that's a whole different story. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 26, 2016 )
- 3.0 out of 5 stars from j. sheldrake -- Young Hemingway in Paris : This is a piece of 'late Hemingway' looking back at his young life in Paris during the 1920s. As always with Hemingway, the food and drink (particularly the drink) are brilliantly described - he was a great travel writer. Hemingway evokes a particular vision of Paris - that of the ex-pat rather than the insider. In spite of some of the supposed 'revelations' about, for example, Scott Fitzgerald (which might have been best left unsaid) the book is nevertheless worth reading. Perhaps read alongside Richard Cobb's essays 'Paris and Elsewhere' for a rather different 'take'. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 20, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Mr. R E -- Recommended : I came across this as a result of a mention in a news item following the Paris shootings. So I probably would not have read it, or in fact known about it, but for that item. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 8, 2015 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from g s c campbell -- Meet Hemingway the unpublished, impoverished author : I had the good fortune to live in Paris as a young man and as well as being a fascinating insight to Hemingway’s own psyche, friendships with Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein it also paints a clear portrait of a city in a unique era - all through his brilliant and direct and old school prose. It made me hungry and thirsty and want to go back to Paris to walk in the gardens and take in the paintings . ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 30, 2020 )
