As pointed out in my review, the most interesting event concerned his wife Hadley Richardson, and she was the only person present in that group that was excluded from his novel.

I am contemplating reading ‘A Moveable Feast’ just to read Hemingway’s perspective, but that may be sufficient. I’ve moved on to Edith Wharton, another American hanging out in Paris and since its her 150th anniversary this year, seems much more appropriate.
