Re: Um...not to interrupt the moveable feast

[Dusty Volume <dustyvolume at yahoo_com>]

umm,

At the risk of stating the obvious, has anyone thought of the 
connection
with Hemingway?  The "moveable feast" I believe, in addition to the 
title
of his book, was coined by him when describing how living in Paris 
changed
him as a young writer in the Lost Generation (A Term he hated BTW)and 
how
it actually became a part of him.  As best as I understand it, the
moveable feast was the experiences he gathered and how they affected 
him
as a human being.  Was *Paris* the moveable feast?  I think so.

It makes sense that it's a Hemingway reference too since "Like a Radio"
has the title of one of his short stories in it.  One we all probably 
read
in freshman comp or high school--A Clean Well Lighted Place.


I don't know about any of you, (well actually I do--{Jessyka}wink (o:) 
but
doesn't this make you just want to move to Paris?  I wonder what it 
would
take to start some sort of artistic movement similar to Gertrude 
Stein's
Lost Generation today in 2002?  Is it just the nostalgia of a past 
lived
vicariously through the literature and artwork of others, or was this 
time
truly as magnificient as it seems now looking back?  Could this be
recreated now?  I mean I know there have been renaissances of the
arts--ie. the glass blowing in Seattle, etc., etc., but would the 
notion
of living as a vagabond selling pieces of art and writing pieces for
modern day publications truly be as desirable now?  Has technology 
ruined
us or helped us in this regard.  I mean just air conditioning is so 
much
to be taken for granted.  Well, I'm drifting far off topic.  

peace out lostees,
mark
