Hemingway published one of the greatest collection of short stories of the 20th century and was starting on a novel that would change the landscape of literature before turning 26. All the while serving in the Red Cross in Italy in WW1 and getting married.

What the fuck is your excuse?

It’s a great novel but to say he never matched it is midwit, I would put it slightly behind both FHTBT and Farewell, and we’ll behind his magnum opus, The Old Man and The Sea

To be fair, I am a big fan of Hemingway's writing and I enjoyed A Moveable Feast, but you have to take it with a grain of salt. Hemingway had a history of criticising and spreading rumours about his 'ex-friends' such as Gertrude Stein and Fitzgerald.. Also, the book was written in his last years and he definitely had some sort of impaired judgement due to concussions, depression and alcoholism.
