I too love TMF by Hemingway. I hail from St. Paul, MN, the home of F Scott. I taught both him and Hemingway in a school there that had been attended by Fitzgerald as a young person and have done a theme on his life in St. Paul in my visualstpaul photo blog. (Shameless pitch--with an old Mavica camera) I used to rent a beautiful flat just down the street in Paris in one of the places Hemingway rented. Alas it was recently sold. I do go on don't I.
