Acerca de esta escucha

In this Hemingway fiction in our time, author Scott Fivelson takes listeners on a literary journey from Paris to Pamplona, as a marathoner on his last legs reflects on the sport as it might have been written about if Hemingway had been a runner. A Farewell to Legs is both a satire of a classic and a classic satire.

This is an excellent satirical piece. Quick wit, humor, and a great short story.

I love how Ernest Hemingway’s granddaughter reads the story. She captures the essence and humor within, and has an easy voice to listen to.

It’s a fun, quick piece, and makes you think. I think everyone who reads or listens to it will get a different message. It has a flavor all it’s own, but somehow, within the fun story, it’s a motivational piece.

Life is meant to be lived, and this story is an excellent satirical and witty piece that will stick with you.

Keep on running - in whichever way you can through the meandering course of life. But remember to wear your Nike’s, no matter what!

I listened to this while completing a 5 hour run mostly by myself. It was interesting and to an exhausted runner hilarious. Not sure what I would think as a normal non marathon runner human being.

Perfect for a runner

I'm writing this review as someone who isn't a sportswoman of any kind, runner or otherwise, and who also, somehow, made it through school without reading Hemingway. Despite the fact that, certainly, I must have missed many references and jokes that a more knowledgeable reader wouldn't have, this is still an incredibly good story - so well written, sweet, nostalgic, exciting, and very funny! The main character is darling and I love the whimsical way he looks at the world, his life, and his adventures very much. The ending is quite a twist and a clever take on one of life's great questions. This story brings on a surprisingly wide range of emotion and is very touching for one that's also so light-hearted. That dichotomy is particularly pleasurable. I enjoyed this short story very much! Actress Mariel Hemingway, Ernest Hemingway's famous granddaughter, does an incredible job as reader on this, too! Coming from a millennial with a short attention span, she helped keep me engaged throughout the listening time and I appreciated that very much!  As always, Scott Fivelson's writing is witty and intelligent, and this incredible combination of elements makes me very glad to have this audiobook in my collection! 

Another wonderful story from Scott Fivelson!
