I love this book, which is all about Hemingway's time in Paris. I had to read it in college and I find myself rereading it every so often.

I have completely misjudged Hemingway. Happy to have this book carry me into the ‘20s.

I enjoyed the actual experience of reading, as I fall heavily into the rhythm of Hemingway's prose, but after a few "anecdotes" that Hemingway tells, you begin to realize that there is a slant, and he is a jerk. It did prompt me to read more biographies of those mentioned within- Fitzgerald, Stein, and Beach, to mention a few.
