Bonjour, Théo

Bonne lecture!

And sadness arrived with the first winter rains...

Is Hemingway’s Paris your Paris too?

Merci.

Merci, Celeste

Looks like your sentence about winter is part of Hemingway's writing..

Good question... I would say yes, absolutely. How I wish to be lived in his Paris.. That era should have been the right era for me.. I forsee a " marathon " read, just like back in my youth, when I was even skipping meals, so caught up in the story. It will be a travel back in time, for sure. After all, some places Hemingway mention are so familiar to me. Such a great feeling I live...

Oh,

I read this book at seventeen, and the memory has stayed with me ever since.

You can even wander through the places Hemingway once knew while reading it.

Merci.

Oh, seventeen... Such a beautiful, rimbaudian age....

You know, Celeste, there is another strange thing - although Hemingway loved Paris, and lived there with the confidence of a man who belonged to every street, I found myself mute whenever I try to speak about him in French.
Just like as talking about Rimbaud in English.

Yes, I often walk through the same places he once crossed - Montparnasse, Latin Quarter...Yet, when I try to talk about this in French, I feel like a tourist
in a place where he had been a citizen of the soul.
Hemingway belonged to Paris in a way that no reader ever will.. Paris will ever be a state of mind, more than a city.

Oh,
I understand — I can only quote Rimbaud in French as well. :))

Merci.

The brilliance fades in the absence of authenticity.
A fake diamond may look almost the same, maybe, but , it is not real... Some things are sacred, their inner weight they carry...

I can sense you’re enjoying this book, Théo.

You know I still believe in telepathy, Maria :))

This book will work for me from many points of view.

And saudade is one of them. For those beautiful times when you could be poor, and still happy..

Merci, Maria

J’ai hâte de lire ta critique, Théo.

Merci.

Bientôt, Maria. Plus tôt que tu ne le penses :))
