Currently reading the "restored" edition of A Moveable Feast. As I marvel over Papa's prose, I find myself shaking my head over his ability to bring the reader into his world and within a minimum of words. It's almost distracting how good Hemingway was at pulling in the reader.

Critics squawk on about how Hemingway the public figure is what people remember, but it's always been his writing that's kept me riveted these 26 years.

The Hemingway House in Key West didn’t even have that impressive set when I was there two weeks ago!

But then they also didn’t have vols 4-5 of the Hem Letters, not that I don’t already own them.

The Ken Burns Ernest Hemingway documentary airs on PBS April 5-7, 2021:

”Hemingway is a three-part, six-hour documentary film that examines visionary work and the turbulent life of Ernest Hemingway, one of the greatest and most influential writers America has ever produced. Interweaving his eventful biography, a life lived at the ultimately treacherous nexus of art, fame, and celebrity, with carefully selected excerpts from his luminous short stories, novels, and non-fiction, we will see beyond the façade of the public man, becoming intimately familiar with this brilliant, ambitious, charismatic, and egocentric genius.

“Directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, written by Geoffrey C. Ward, and produced by Sarah Botstein, Lynn Novick, and Ken Burns, Hemingway premieres April 5-7 on PBS.” (6 hours).”

The same is true for me. I am always drawn back to The Sun Also Rises and the short stories. I find myself returning to them often.

You, as always, have exquisite taste!

The Sun Also Rises is an annual re-read for me—most years, anyway. The book’s characters, setting, and the dialogue all resonate in different ways each time I read it. I can even recall where and when I bought the book; it meant that much to me.

The short stories are little tragedies and life lessons which make an impression to be ruminated over long after you’ve read them.

The Sun Also Rises and the short stories are annual reads for me also. And I am always struck with how fresh they are when I re-read them. That is genius.

Howard, that book caught me out in Key West; a mammoth tome, that one.

Received Philip Greene’s A Drinkable Feast: A Cocktail Companion to 1920s Paris.



It’s a nice follow up to the author’s previous To Have and Have Another.

“How Ernest Hemingway really responded to the Spanish flu pandemic”

https://theconversation.com/how-ernest-hemingway-really-responded-to-the-spanish-flu-pandemic-152264

In his surviving correspondence, I’ve only found one or two flu references. I’ve already mentioned in the Art Book Junkie thread the surprising LACK of impact the 1918-19 pandemic had on art of the time, and so it also goes with Hemingway.

The Hemingway Cookbook...a new high (low), even for me, in that it was published way back in 1998 and I’ve only just now found out about it.
