Title: Sea of Plenty: The Artist s Role in Islands in the Stream
Author/Creator: Lawrence R. Broer
Publication Details: Hemingway, Cuba, and the Cuban Works, pp.229-242
Annotation: Argues that Thomas Hudson and Santiago are the climactic versions of Hemingway s artist-hero, with Islands in the Stream and The Old Man and the Sea part of Hemingway s new conception of a harmonious universe represented by the metaphor of the Gulf Stream. Contends that the protagonists spirit of acceptance, self-awareness, and personal incorporation of the feminine separate them from Hemingway s earlier heroes. Broer focuses on the doctrine of plentitude found in both works which holds the paradoxical aspects of existence, both good and bad, in unity.
