L'ARTICOLO DELLA SETTIMANA
Caustico, pettegolo, sempre intelligentissimo, a volte sentimentale e amaro ( Most of all, though, I believe that A Moveable Feast serves the purpose of a double nostalgia: our own as we contemplate a Left Bank that has since become a banal tourist enclave in a Paris where the tough and plebeian districts are gone, to be replaced by seething Muslim banlieues all around the periphery; and Hemingway’s at the end of his distraught days, as he saw again the “City of Light” with his remaining life still ahead of him rather than so far behind), Christopher Hitchens sulla nuova edizione di A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition, di Ernest Hemingway (Scribner). Atlantic.
