A Moveable Feast was my favorite, and I remember his descriptions of the expats sitting in cafes eating and drinking and his time with his first wife (?) Hadley. Ironic when you consider that they'd escaped their countries and former lives...1920s in the US wasn't exactly the sit around in cafes type of place...Good luck to you as you move on with this -- it sounds quite interesting.kellypeahttp://sassandveracity.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837774373066021173.post-80428803280272970662009-05-16T20:31:00.000-07:002009-05-16T20:31:00.000-07:00I think you are off to a great start Garrett!<br />Food is a form of escapism in most literary work and very strong in Hemingway's. I often wonder if he was not censoring himself by writing about food instead of mentionning his heavy drinking to cope and move along. But re-reading a few passages, the way he writes about food and people's connection with and through food, it is clear that he loved it as much and as well as he talks about it. <br />I can't wait to read your paper when it's ready. I know you are giving it a big push this weekend. Good luck! I am also writing or re-writing I should say, 15-20 pages or so, I feel your pain.<br />You made me want to pick up his novel again and read them with this different perspective in mind. Love that!Tartelettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15119932841882891505noreply@blogger.com
