Shabbat Reading: Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast

#whatireadovershabbat Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast

“This is how Paris was in the early days when we were very poor and very happy.” And so Hemingway concludes a book-length love letter to Paris. Both tender and vicious, this memoir of his time there in the ‘20s is an exquisite recollection of places and friends and of a young writer’s ambitions. I read it to prepare for my own trip to France and, while much has changed since “Hem’s” era—indeed, almost everything—I hope it’s still true that Paris is “always worth it.”
