Not long before he committed suicide, Hemingway recalled the Paris of his youth, the city where he was poor, in love, and became a writer. All his laconic depression is expressed in it, all his sensitivity, and all his hardness as well, everything that resides and lives in the lost paradise. I often returned to this book. The older I got, the more it seemed to me that Hemingway was sending readers back to the age, which varies depending on the person, when they were least distant from their dreams. He drew every reader into the inescapable labyrinth of nostalgia, into the pitiless mirror of failures. I continued to reread the book because I still had not found, in myself, that magic, abandoned age. I sought it while Hemingway spoke to me about his. I looked for it, waited for it, didn’t find it, and now I know that it will never come back. It is buried somewhere before January 7, if it ever existed at all. It doesn’t matter. I no longer have either nostalgia or regrets: in that respect, the event took everything from me. After the attacks on November 13, 2015, A Moveable Feast became a bestseller in France, for a reason that was unrelated to its content, and was linked simply to its French title: Paris est une fête (Paris is a Feast). People wanted Paris to be a feast, a delight, and to remain one, they wanted it desperately: just as Hemingway had wanted it desperately, and not completely in vain, one last time, and for himself.
