1999 Finally...I see...Hemingway....
2010 Hemingway’s reflections on his time in Paris during the time after the first world war. He encounters and befriends Gertrude Stein and Sylvia Beach and Ezra Pound and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Oddly, this book links rather well with Tender is the Night and Good Morning, Midnight, both of which were written during this time in France, and both of which I am also reading.

I have read most of Hemingway's other books, but had not read this one until now. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I like Paris, so that is part of the reason, but more than that, I really liked the personal forward by his son Patrick, and the introduction by his grandson Sean, as well as the Additional Paris Sketches, which were unfinished and previously unpublished parts of his work. The whole book gives the reader a glimpse of the 'real' Hemingway, as he was when he was in Paris with his wife Hadley

I Love Hemingway's style of writing. Greatly enjoyed this book, if a little gossipy.
