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.

Another wonderful story from Scott Fivelson!

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!

She tried to dial M for murder, but instead she accidentally dialed L for latch-key… A plotting husband who strongly resembles Ray Milland… A framed wife as elegant as Grace Kelly… An inspector straight out of Monty Python… Hitchcock would be spinning in his grave if he weren’t suiting up for his cameo. Gather round and enjoy this intelligent, witty satire of the films of Alfred Hitchcock.

A brilliant homage to the great Alfred Hitchcock!

This is such a fun and brilliantly written satire, a wonderful mystery with so many Hitchcock references, reading it is Hitchcock heaven! Its humor is ingenious, rife with witty quips and amusing dialogue, and fits well in the Hitchcock theme! I love all the characters, particularly G, the darling damsel in distress, graceful, beautiful, and hinting at a naivety that's just absolutely charming. The Inspector, who is wise, curious, and patient, is the kind of man who would make a person better just for spending a little bit of time with him. No spoilers, but the ending is the kind of twist that left me not only surprised, but beaming with happiness. I will be listening to this again and often, and if I ever have a chance to see it played out live on stage, I'll consider myself a very lucky girl!
