Francis,
I attempted a half-hearted Hemingway tour while in Paris, Christmas of 2013. I was hoping to visit Harry's New York Bar, but it didn't work out. My family was less inclined, but we compromised in visiting the successor in spirit of Sylvia Beach's Shakespeare and Company in the Latin Quarter. Beach's original bookstore, a haven for Hemingway and other ex-pats of the 1920's, ceased existence in the 1940's. American George Whitman opened the successor in 1951 at a different location. I read A Moveable Feast while there and I thought it a real hatchet job on some of his friends, especially Fitzgerald. However, those feelings were softened somewhat when I realized it was published posthumously and might not have ever seen the light of day otherwise. Here we are sitting in front of Shakespeare and Company, Christmas Eve, 2013. Gil
