![]() I found him a little bit pompous, very sure of himself and his skills and utterly delicious to read. In real life he had no such money problems but it certainly adds something to the story when you’re reading it. Reading the book you’d think he was a poverty-stricken young writer, worried about where his next meal will come from. He was born into a wealthy family and lived a charmed life. ![]() He doesn’t write great swathes of descriptions, in fact his depictions are quite sparse but so well-written that you know exactly what he means and don’t need huge tomes to convey an image. Hemingway has a wonderful style, he’s able to convey what he hears and sees to give the reader a real flavour, a feel of the place he is writing about – in this case, Paris in the 1920s. ![]() ![]() It’s a slim volume, I read it in just a couple of days and it’s one of those un-put-down-able books that has to be read more than once to fully appreciate all of the nuances and little details. A Moveable Feast is a set of memoirs by American author Ernest Hemingway about his early years in Paris. ![]()
