  A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway

  Papa's memoir of 1920s Paris, when he was one of many impoverished ex-pat writers wringing the city for inspiration, is sensuous and vivid despite his famously restrained prose style. Joyce, Pound, Stein and the Fitzgeralds all feature in what is one of Hemingway's most enjoyable books.
