 The_Literary_Jedi | Jun 28, 2022 |  2000, April (  ) carladp | Feb 20, 2022 | Great look at Hemingway and Fitzgerald in Paris in the 1920's. Inspired me to dig out some of those classic novels. ( ) kevn57 | Dec 8, 2021 | Finally got around to reading this one. I had been wanting to after finishing "The Paris Wife" a couple of years ago, which I liked very much, and which anyone wanting to know Hadley's (possibly lightly fictionalized) version of these events should seek out. Having read the first book, I was - let's say -pretty disgusted by the way Hemingway deals with the end of their marriage in "A Moveable Feast". I guess he had to be circumspect and indirect to avoid looking like a complete cad and jerk. A very poignant moment in "The Paris Wife" depicts Hadley reading a draft of "The Sun Also Rises" and realizing as she makes her way through it "I am nowhere in here". It's when she knows he is done with her. Oh, and he also doesn't hesitate to eviscerate F. Scott Fitzgerald many years after his death. At least he does allow Scott to say "You don't know anything about Zelda" when Hemingway dismisses her as simply "crazy". That bit about the Ritz Hotel bartender not having the faintest recollection of Fitzgerald had the whiff of jealousy to me, because finally after all those years of being forgotten and his fiction neglected Scott's reputation as an emblematic American writer had risen to the place it remains today, at the pinnacle. When I was in college in 1975 and took my university's course in The American Novel, we read Gatsby, of course, as well as The Sun Also Rises, and a bunch of other books by white men and one black man (Native Son). Cut to 2010 and my daughter is taking the same course at the same university. Gone from the syllabus are Hemingway, Dreiser, Henry James, Melville, etc. in favor of Marilynne Robinson and Zora Neale Hurston. Which authors remained 35 years later? Hawthorne, Twain, and Fitzgerald. ( ) Octavia78 | Nov 28, 2021 | Hemingway's ego and misogyny are on full display. I would have DNF except that it worked for a couple of reading challenge tasks I've been trying to complete. (  ) Bodagirl | Nov 28, 2021 |
 Important note!: this review is of the edition that Hemingway's grandson revised because he didn't like the original's contents. Hotchner argues for ignoring this edition in favor of the original. "The grandson has removed several sections of the book’s final chapter and replaced them with other writing of Hemingway’s that the grandson feels paints his grandma in a more sympathetic light. Ten other chapters that roused the grandson’s displeasure have been relegated to an appendix." "All publishers, Scribner included, are guardians of the books that authors entrust to them. Someone who inherits an author’s copyright is not entitled to amend his work. There is always the possibility that the inheritor could write his own book offering his own corrections. Ernest was very protective of the words he wrote, words that gave the literary world a new style of writing. Surely he has the right to have these words protected against frivolous incursion, like this reworked volume that should be called “A Moveable Book.” I hope the Authors Guild is paying attention."  He is gentle, wistful, and almost nostalgic. One writer friend once described Hemingway to me as "that bully" and in many ways my friend was right. Hemingway had created his own public personae that included a brusque way of conducting himself; of a kind of machismo that would be called out for what it was these days; and an insensitivity to other people that bordered on the cruel. A lot of that 'Grace under pressure" is crap, and in his better moments, Heminway probably knew that. But the stories in A Moveable Feast belie all that. He remembers those days in Paris with a fondness and kindness that is remarkable, considering his usual public displays. Ernest was very protective of the words he wrote, words that gave the literary world a new style of writing. Surely he has the right to have these words protected against frivolous incursion, like this reworked volume that should be called “A Moveable Book.”  For that voice of a shattered Hemingway alone, the new edition of A Moveable Feast is worth taking note of. Otherwise, what I'm calling the "classic" edition is the more coherent narrative. "Though this may seem at first blush a fragmentary book, it is not so. It should be read as a novel, belongs among the author's better works and is, as 'mere writing,' vintage Hemingway."

Nach dem kürzlich erschienenen Roman von Paula McLaine "Madame Hemingway" (ID-A 27/11) ist nun Ernest Hemingways Originaltext neu aufgelegt worden. In einer Neubearbeitung und zeitgemäe︢n Übersetzung sind Hemingways Pariser Skizzen erschienen. Die Kapitel geben Zeugnis von den literarisch so fruchtbaren 20er-Jahren des vorigen Jahrhunderts, als sich in der französischen Hauptstadt um Gertrude Stein die literarische Bohème versammelte. Amerikanern stand damals für kleines Geld Europa offen. Hemingway notiert im Café Beobachtungen seiner Umgebung, schreibt über seine Ehe mit Hadley, äussert sich über die Problematik des Schreibens und seiner Schriftstellerexistenz. Der Band enthält neben Anmerkungen und Nachworten seines Sohnes und seines Enkels auch Fragmente. Besonders geeignet für literaturgeschichtlich Interessierte, aber auch wegen Ernest Hemingways plastischer Darstellung für Parisliebhaber Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
