Hemingway's profile of the Lost Generation captures life among the expatriates on Paris' Left Bank during the 1920s, the brutality of bullfighting in Spain, and the moral and spiritual dissolution of a generation.

Review of 'Fiesta' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Not sure how to feel about that. I read the spark notes after each chapter. Sometimes I flat out disagreed with the observations it made. Regardless. This book is about the most miserable people. But it made me think quite a bit about how I put nearly everyone before myself. I’m rarely selfish. I don’t say that to sound virtuous. It’s just keeping the peace. And making others happy keeps the peace. My own peace be damned. Despite all of these people having absolutely no real anchor they sure know how to do whatever they want. They aren’t quite libertines but close.

It was a good read. But didn’t hit me too hard. I mostly wanted the bulls to gore them all.
