I enjoy reading classics and Hemingway is so sparse and exacting with his words. I liked learning about the 1920's and the people he hung out with in Paris. Some quotes:
"But even when you have learned not to look at families nor listen to them and have learned not to answer letters, families have many ways of being dangerous."
"Since I had started to break down all my writing and get rid of all facility and try to make instead of describe, writing had been wonderful to do. But it was very difficult, and I did not know how I would ever write anything as long as a novel. It often took me a full morning of work to write a paragraph."Published: 1964 Read: February 2018 Genre: Memoir
