A Moveable Feast

by Ernest Hemingway

March 2018

Auto-biographical book about Hemingway's time in Paris, France in the 1920s.  He wrote it late in his life when he discovered a trunk he'd put into storage during his time in France.  It tells about the time of his first marriage.  It was also during this time that Hemingway developed his brief style of writing.  He became best friends with F. Scott Fitzgerald at this time.

We had a lively discussion about this book for 2.5 hours.
