- Author/Creator
- Mark P. Ott
- Annotation
- Literary biography drawing on Hemingway s fishing logs, correspondence (published and unpublished), and newspaper articles to reconstruct the author s complex relationship with the Gulf Stream and its influence on his writing. Ott traces Hemingway s stylistic and philosophic transformation from C zanne-inspired abstraction of the 1920s to the realism of the 1950s, contending that a close reading of the fishing logs reveals both Hemingway s growing understanding of the natural world and evolution as a writer. Focuses on A Farewell to Arms, To Have and Have Not, and The Old Man and the Sea. Includes a chronology of Hemingway s time spent in the Gulf Stream and a list of books from Hemingway s library that may have influenced the composition of To Have and Have Not and The Old Man and the Sea.
