From the Quicklet on A Moveable Feast:
A Moveable Feast is an episodic book, with short chapters devoted to various people, themes, and locations important to Hemingway during the period he and Hadley lived in Paris from 1921 to 1926.
The book is roughly chronological, beginning when Hemingway and Hadley first arrive in Paris and ending when Hemingway has an affair and their marriage begins to fall apart.
The book’s first chapter is called “A Good Café on the Place St.-Michel,” and it gives readers a first glimpse into the world that Hemingway inhabits. He describes how he’s writing about Michigan and his boyhood while being in the café, and the perspective he has in this opening scene encapsulates the expatriate perspective he has throughout the book:
“I was writing about up in Michigan and since it was a wild, cold blowing day it was that sort of day in the story.

From the Quicklet on The Torrents of Spring:
Published in 1926, The Torrents of Spring: A Romantic Novel in Honor of the Passing of a Great Race is Ernest Hemingway’s first published novel. Prior to this novel, Hemingway published two collections of short stories: Three Stories and Ten Poems, published in 1923, and In Our Time, which was published in Paris in 1924 and then in the United States in 1925.
Perhaps the most important context from which to read The Torrents of Spring is that of Hemingway’s contemporary literary culture. Before the novel even begins, Hemingway draws attention to the subject of literary culture by using a title that directly references an earlier novel by nineteenth century Russian writer Ivan Turgenev, entitled Torrents of Spring. While the Turgenev novel was written in the early 1870s, Hemingway’s work actually focuses on the more specific literary scene of which Hemingway was personally a part.
= = = = =
From the Quicklet on To Have and Have Not:
Based on his personal experiences and observations from living in Key West and Cuba, Hemingway composed the non-stop adventures of the indefatigable yachtsman Harry Morgan, an ex-policeman struggling to survive the Great Depression in the depths of Cuban revolutionary waters.
The Morgan story was originally intended to be published in three separate short stories (Baker xvi)—a narrative genre which Hemingway himself was redefining at the time. Hemingway had already published the first and second “stories” of Harry Morgan in Cosmopolitan and Esquire magazines (1934, 1935), and decided to revise all the tales into one novel. Yet the melding of the three stories, along with the intervening story of Richard Gordon, created a novel lacking in unity.
Hemingway even admitted that To Have and Have Not was “a procedural error” (Baker xv), and his least gratifying book (Baker 205). The novel was crafted during a time in Hemingway’s life that experts describe as an ‘interim period’ of artistic regression between his better glory days (Baker xvi). The start of the Spanish Civil War also influenced Hemingway’s time and focus on the novel, in that the main character as an individual comes to share the same fate as the oppressed proletarians of his society (Meyers 267).
Hemingway worked and reworked with the manuscript, even relying on the unbiased editorial eyes of trusted friends (Mellow 485), until its final publication by Scribner in 1937. It opened to critical reviews which considered the work to be an anti-capitalist stance against the U.S. government with Marxist undertones, and as “a novel divided against itself”—telling multiple stories which just didn’t cohere as a single novel (Mellow 488; Baker 205, 206).
