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.

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 donât think he ever really finished this book and itâs 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.

Ernest Hemingway's writing is always easy to read. This is a collection of memoirs from his time in Paris in his early 20s. While it's interesting to hear his stories from the time, the stories are so oddly collected and organized in decreasing order of completion that by the end you've read the same passage rewritten a few times. May be a better read for a more dedicated fan of Hemingway, trying to understand his process.
