There Is Never Any Ending to Paris

Hemingway lived in Paris as a journalist in Europe in the first half of the 1920s. There Is Never Any Ending to Paris records the author''s life at that time. However, Hemingway did not write about it until nearly forty years later. In other words, both the author and the readers are just looking for the past years in their memories which are unfocused and deformed in the lens of time. All the memories of Paris are mixed into a common historical memory of Paris. In this semi-documentary and semi-fictional work, a genre painting of the literary circle in Paris in the 1920s is unfolded slowly. Those who had extraordinary powers in the world literary and artistic circles at that time were sketched vividly in a few words and they were integrated with the city forever.
