- Annotation
- Discusses how Hemingway s detailed fishing logs from his 1932-1937 expeditions on the Anita helped develop the realistic writing style cultivated in To Have and Have Not and culminating in The Old Man and the Sea. Gives a brief history of Hemingway s marlin fishing and explores how the fishing logs were fictionalized in To Have and Have Not. Cites direct observation, realistic description, attention to detail and science, and literary naturalism as elements of Hemingway s new style.
