Made up of many short chapters, or essays, on Hemingway's early life in Paris. The endings of every essay were marvelous and absolutely brilliant. I want to visit 1920s Paris as a young, dumb, and broke newlywed now. There are some really interesting motifs of food and hunger going on here which are very well summarized by Hadley Hemingway when she said, "Memory is hunger."

"Children are cursed with believing." I was unsure how O'Connor would expand what was originally a short story, into this novel. It involved mostly a fleshing out of the conflict of the short story instead of a progression into new ground. The first chapter was like a nut graph of the whole thing, and I kept waiting for a true moment of revelation of the hidden core of the story to hit me, and it didn't. The writing is magnificent and striking; O'Connor has some of the best simile's in the game. A lot of the scene beats and emotional tones I recognized as influencing my writing style, in the way she uses description, advanced metaphors, and inner turmoil to create a sense of motion. But there's a lot of layers and imagery here that I don't understand, and won't pretend to, although they're all fascinating. Prophetic suffering, childhood belief, and an insistent hunger for the Bread of Life uniquely characterize the gothic horror of the conflict. The concept of a boy struggling against temptation to baptize someone is so outlandish it doesn't feel human to me. I feel like there's less a meditation on faith and more of a mythic and ideological wrestling going on between these characters--and it's a well-executed one at that. It just didn't work all the way on me.
