A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway

Hemingway arrived in Paris in 1921. It was during these years that the as of yet unpublished young writer gathered the material for his first novel, THE SUN ALSO RISES.

Among these small reflective sketches are unforgettable encounters with the members of Hemingway's slightly ragtime circle of artists and writers some fated to also achieve fame and glory and others to fall into obscurity.

A MOVEABLE FEAST is at once an elegy to the remarkable group of expatriates that gathered in Paris during the twenties and a testament to the risks and rewards of the writerly life.
