A Moveable Feast Audiobook by Ernest Hemingway— narrated by James Naughton
Ernest Hemingway's posthumous memoir of his broke, ambitious years in 1920s Paris, where he wrote his first stories and sized up Fitzgerald, Stein, and Pound at close range.
Why the audiobook wins
A Moveable Feast is four and a half hours, and it is the ideal length for Hemingway in audio. The sentences are short, declarative and rhythmic, built by a man who read his own work aloud to test it, and James Naughton reads them without adding anything. No weight on the famous lines. No signalling that a passage is going to be quoted for the next century.
That plainness is what lets the meanness through. This is a memoir of being broke and young and working in 1920s Paris, and it is also Hemingway settling scores: Fitzgerald anxious and drunk, Stein pronouncing, Ford Madox Ford unbearable. Read straight, the portraits are far funnier and far crueler than they look on the page.
Four and a half hours in Paris, in the voice the prose was engineered for. One Audible credit covers it.
