Before his death in 1964, Hemingway memorialized his time in Paris in the 1920s.
That work became A Moveable Feast, and while many embrace it, the account has received its fair share of criticism.
For those who think Hemingway's memoir was a little one-sided, self-serving or incomplete (due to his passing), there's The Paris Wife, a fictionalized retelling of A Moveable Feast through the eyes of Hadley Richardson, Hemingway's first wife.
The two books led us to create a "she read, he read" series.
Below Wonder Shuffle's Laura LaVelle reviews The Paris Wife, while Wonder Shuffle's Dan Kadison rates A Moveable Feast.
In the end, we're sure you'll at least agree with one thing Hemingway wrote: “There is never any ending to Paris and the memory of each person who has lived in it differs from that of any other."
