A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition
Ernest Hemingway’s classic memoir of Paris in the 1920s, now available in a restored edition, includes the original manuscript along with insightful recollections and unfinished sketches.
Published posthumously in 1964, A Moveable Feast remains one of Ernest Hemingway’s most enduring works. Since Hemingway’s personal papers were released in 1979, scholars have examined the changes made to the text before publication. Now, this special restored edition presents the original manuscript as the author prepared it to be published.
Featuring a personal foreword by Patrick Hemingway, Ernest’s sole surviving son, and an introduction by grandson of the author, Seán Hemingway, editor of this edition, the book also includes a number of unfinished, never-before-published Paris sketches revealing experiences that Hemingway had with his son, Jack, and his first wife Hadley. Also included are irreverent portraits of literary luminaries, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ford Maddox Ford, and insightful recollections of Hemingway’s own early experiments with his craft.
Widely celebrated and debated by critics and readers everywhere, the restored edition of A Moveable Feast brilliantly evokes the exuberant mood of Paris after World War I and the unbridled creativity and unquenchable enthusiasm that Hemingway himself epitomized.

I read "The Paris Wife" just before reading "A Moveable Feast". It was like reading the same experiences from two perspectives. The author of The Paris Wife certainly must have used this as a reference.
I liked the little vignettes and some of the gossipy chapters.
One of my all time favorite movies is "Midnight in Paris". Woody Allen obviously used this book as part of his inspiration as well....

A great read on early 20th century Paris. Some of the classic authors like Hemingway are comfort reading for me.
Ernest Hemingway is my favorite author. He taught truth, the toughest, thing, to top. A Moveable Feast is a holiday that lands on a different dates every year. The novel is based on his time in Paris during the mid 1920's retelling his memories of the scenery and friends that include "The Lost Generation" F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, Ford Maddox Ford, James Joyce, Pablo Picasso, Ezra Pound. The book was published after his death by suicide in 1961 on May 5 1964. Its a very worthy read!
all i have to say is
!!!!!!
jk ok review (3.5 stars)
like the first 2/3, was very interesting, last bit dragged… except for the funny measuring bit. not really his fault as i don’t think he ever really finished this book and it’s also a fictionalized version of his life which must be strange to write ? idk i can say that i felt bad for him while reading this book. so what does that mean.
