'A Moveable Feast' will be of interest even to those who are not enamoured of Ernest Hemingway's fiction. The budding author provides the reader with an idealistic vision of an inexistent Bohemian Paris of the 1920s which is just as revealing of the City of Lights as of Hemingway's touchingly naive observations he records in the series of vignettes which compose 'A Moveable Feast'. Whether it be his irrational hatred of such luminaries as Ford Madox Ford or the moments of grace he discovers at an ordinary Parisian bistro, Hemingway never fails to stimulate the reader's curiosity about what was
really happening behind the scenes in literary Paris. An enjoyable trip back in time.
