This is a book about Ernest Hemingway's time in Paris in the 1920s and the people he was around. This was published after his death, I am not sure if he had this written out or if from notes. It has short chapters about different incidents and times from back then so working off his memories. Interesting hearing about how he basically was living in near poverty writing and trying to get stories published to keep him going. Finally toward the end he talks about his first novel getting written The Sun Also Rises and you can kind of see he was stepping into a different part of his life. The last chapter mentions a new woman in his life and feeling terrible because he still loves his first wife Hadley. I like Hemingway as a writer and this adds to him and his writings.
My Hemingway books are keepers so this one will be sticking around.
