Title: Hemingway s Impressionistic Islands
Author/Creator: James Nagel
Publication Details: Hemingway, Cuba, and the Cuban Works, pp.243-253
Annotation: On the importance of impressionism, imagism, and polyphonic prose to Hemingway s aesthetic throughout his life, beginning with his early introduction to impressionistic technique under Ezra Pound s tutelage in Paris. Nagel draws on passages from Islands in the Stream to demonstrate various impressionistic principles, arguing that they provide a sensory evocation of scene, establish a frame for dialogue or action, and create a cinematic immediacy, and thus bring to life the world of Thomas Hudson.
