Title: Lessons from Hemingway s Cuban Biographer
Author/Creator: Walter Houk
Publication Details: North Dakota Quarterly, Vol.68(2-3), pp.132-155
Annotation: Takes issue with Norberto Fuentes s Hemingway in Cuba (1984), correcting biographical fallacies, including the most likely source for Harry Morgan s boat in To Have and Have Not, Thomas Hudson s Q-boat route in Islands in the Stream, and the model for Santiago in The Old Man and the Sea. However, Houk s main complaint is with the biographer s tendency to read Hemingway s Cuban fiction as real-life fact.
