I stayed in some dodgy dive of a hotel that I bought off teletext, in the West End of San… Continue reading

Review: A Farewell to Arms – by Ernest Hemingway
A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway My rating: 5 of 5 stars I’d encountered Hemingway through his ‘Death in the Afternoon’ foray into bullfighting.
