D A story of a young Hemingway who is poor and living in Paris, AMoveable Feast is a novelcummemoir(回憶體小說 )of the writer. The book is also a tribute to the numerous characters he meets. Hemingway projects himself to us as a young man. He examines his younger self and his weaknesses, but we also get a sense of homesickness for the struggle and hardship that characterized his introduction into a writer’s life in literature. The book is often hilariously funny, as well as incredibly touching. The novel is a tour of many of the great figures in modern literary history, and a remarkable recall of their carefree lifestyle. A Moveable Feast is more a series of anecdotes than any attempt at a rather logic narrative. It moves from subject to subject, creating miniature portraits and taking in the atmosphere of Paris at the time. Rather than concentrating on himself, Hemingway prefers to point his fiction outwards, examining early friends and acquaintances with breathtaking detail. The figures which he depicts include Ford Maddox Ford, Ezra Pound, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Gertrude Stein. Stein, in particular, stands out in the book as a grand madam of letters—a great teacher to Hemingway, a distinguished innovator in literature, and just a little bit crazy. She enjoys the power she projected over people. Hemingway sees her as a selfserving, selfsatisfied unpleasant old lady, but he still makes her seem somehow likable. There is also a series of interesting anecdotes regarding the young F. Scott Fitzgerald and his troubled relationship with his wife. In one anecdote, Hemingway and Fitzgerald go on a road a particularly lonely evening, they go to a restaurant, where Fitzgerald tells his friend that Fitzgerald’s wife is jealous (and, actually severely mentally ill). She picks away at his confidence so much so that he is frustrated. Fitzgerald asks Hemingway to reassure him. The book is brilliant for literary gossip, but A Moveable Feast is also an extended meditation (冥想 )on Hemingway’s transition to being a great writer. He also discusses how he believes writing should be performed. He puts great emphasis on subconscious processes. He sets aside time to work on his stories, does his best not to think about them at other times, and aims at writing truthfully. Hemingway’s modus operandi(手法 )in literature—his plain sentences, his simple structure, his close observation of the ways of the world—are boiled down to one central principle in this book: do your best to write what is true. Hemingway suggests that if that’s the only thing one can do when writing, then you will be well on your way to writing something that is good. And that is probably the key to the success of A Moveable Feast. I think there is no author that makes you want to write more than Hemingway。 A GOT OLD PHONES? HERE’S HOW TO REUSE, RECYCLE OR SELL THEM It’s natural to get the phoneupgrade thirst when the likes of Apple, Samsung and others keep ing out with newer models. But what do you do with a serviceable but outdated device? Here’s a guide for figuring out what you might do with last year’s model (or even older ones). DONATE TO CHARITY Several charities accept old phones as a donation. But these groups probably won’t physically give your old phones to people in need. Instead, they’ll often sell your phone to recyclers and keep the money which goes towards daily management. Nearly 60 percent of the phones charities collect are resold, according to a recent survey. They will pay for shipping if you are mailing three or more phones. SELL SELL SELL Once new models e out, older ones will flood onto eBay and other resale sites. How much money you can make off your old phone depends on the brand and how much wear and tear it’s seen. The resale site Gazelle, for example, is offering $140 for a Verizonready Samsung Galaxy S7 in “good” condition. What does “good” mean? The phone has no cracks on the screen or body, powers on and makes calls, and is free of major scratches. A “perfect” phone that looks like it’s never been used will land you $15 more. REUSE, REPURPOSE Even without cellular service, your old phone will be able to get on WiFi, so you can use it to post on Facebook or do pretty much anything else you want provided you are in WiFi range. Keep it for yourself, give it to a broke friend, or load it up with kidfriendly apps and games and hand it down to your children. Or just keep it as a backup in case something horrible happens to your main phone. 56. Why do charities choose to sell a large proportion of their donations? A.
