Patrick King wrote of A MOVABLE FEAST:
It's a great portrait of people struggling to create;
chooseing alies and dealing with professional jealousy, their
own, and jealousy aimed at them.
*************** I have mixed feelings about it. I liked it
because of the wicked gossip woven into it. Really nasty
towards Gertrude Stein and Fitzgerald didn't come out looking
very good either. It's been a while since I read it but
doesn't it portray the beginning of the collapse of the
Fitzgerald family, with Zelda heading towards crazy? My
problem with it, though, is that it shows Hemingway's
tendency to turn against his former friends, something
pointed out earlier by Richard Moore.
As a side note on the who's who in A Movable Feast, I think
that there's a reference to a man walking by a cafe with a
cape on. It doesn't say, but I've heard it's Aleister
Crowley.
And The Sun Also Rises is as near perfect as I need in
life.
