- Annotation
- With this collection of essays, Curnutt aims to demonstrate the complexity of Key West s influence on Hemingway, arguing that the island did not distract Hemingway from his writing but rather helped to develop it. Laments the transformation of Hemingway s Key West house and museum into a tourist attraction. Closes with a survey of the Key West literary tradition from James Fenimore Cooper to Tennessee Williams, contending that many authors have portrayed the island inaccurately.
