Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines the ways Ernest Hemingway's memoir responds to, ventriloquizes, and finally revises Gertrude Stein's Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas. A Moveable Feast, much like Autobiography, dramatizes its author's contradictory impulses for both self-promotion and self-effacement. A Moveable Feast is in this way a kind of pentimento, where the “I” is both obscured by and visible through layers of otherness.
