1920年代上半叶,海明威以驻欧记者身份旅居巴黎,《流动的盛宴》这本书,记录的正是作者当日的这段生活。不过这本书的写作却是在将近四十年以后,换句话说,盛宴的“现场”早已消失,作者和读者都只是在记忆中追寻那段过往岁月,而无论是作者或是读者,这些记忆都已在时光的透镜里失焦、变形。所有有关巴黎的记忆都杂糅成一种对于巴黎的共同的历史记忆。在历史上不计其数的关于巴黎的虚构或非虚构作品中,《流动的盛宴》是最著名的作品之一,其扉页上的题献——“假如你有幸年轻时在巴黎生活过,那么你此后一生中不论去到哪里她都与你同在,因为巴黎是一席流动的盛宴”,已经成为巴黎的“文化名片”,被广为传诵。在这部半纪实半虚构的作品中,二十年代巴黎文人圈的风俗画卷徐徐展开,那些当时在世界文坛、艺坛上呼风唤雨的人物都被寥寥数笔勾勒出生动的素描像,与这座城市、这部书永远融为一体……
