Hemingway's memories of his life as an unknown writer living in Paris in the 1920s are deeply personal,warmly affectionate and full of wit. Looking back not only at his own much younger self, but also at the other writers who shared Paris with him - literary 'stars' like James Joyce, Wyndham Lewis, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein - he recalls the time when, poor, happy and writing incafes, he discovered his vocation.
