Hemingway's memoir of his years in Paris as a young writer — the cafés, the conversations with Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein, the horse racing, the skiing, the poverty that felt romantic because the work was going well. He wrote it at the end of his life, looking back, which gives it a quality the young Hemingway wouldn't have allowed: tenderness. The most romanticized visitor dispatch on this shelf and the most honest about why we romanticize certain places and times. Paris as a city that made people believe they could become who they wanted to be.
