The Pilot Fish and the Rich

Hemingway blames his break-up with Hadley on rich people. And the pilot fish who comes ahead.

This is weak. The rich didn't cause him to have an affair with Pauline and leave Hadley.

At the end he says he was going to put how much he loved Pauline in the book but it wasn't the end of A Moveable Feast, it was the beginning of a new book, The Pilot Fish and the Rich and Other Stories.

He would write that next.

He had always written before and he would write again.

Well, he couldn't finish A Moveable Feast. He didn't have it anymore.

We know how that turned out.

I know what I'm going to write next.

818.5203 SAU: THE PROBLEM OF SUSTENANCE AND OTHER WRITING STORIES.

It will be fiction.

Maybe I'll just call it WRITING STORIES.

Is that stories about writing or the act of writing stories?

Hemingway was a pilot fish.

Once Bill caught a remora, trolling, and he stuck it on the underside of his arm. The remora attached itself to Bill's arm.

A cigar don't have a thing to say about who smokes it.

I miss you, Bill.

I still have Dad's fish priest.

You hit 'em upside they head, they quiver, and then are still.

Gangs of New York.

Nothing changes.

Hemingway got his bell rung one time too many.
