Hemingway: A Moveable Feast (of book covers)
I've been collecting old copies of Paris-themed books.I'm having SO MUCH FUN reading these old paper treasures. I particularly love reading what others before me have underlined. Some of these underlined passages are poignant and lovely. Others are a mystery. Why did the reader underline THAT? You start to judge the anonymous underliners as either people with great taste whom you could befriend, or people who are weirdos. There is no in between.In gathering these old treasures, I've come across a slew of different versions of A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway. Feast your eyes on this... I had no idea there were so many. AND I only investigated the French and English versions. Incroyable. Shakespeare & Company, one of the English bookstores in Paris, sells more copies of A Moveable Feast than any other title. However, I like to zip around the corner to the Canadian bookshop, The Abbey Bookshop on Many, many books.In other news, my 100th Paris Letter... Cue the trumpets!This letter began with a collage including some of those lovely old papers from those ratty (but lovely) books.Here I am painting at a café, creating my own moveable (painting) feast.
