- Annotation
- Traces the spiritual significance of Hemingway s fishing scenes, from trout fishing in his early stories to saltwater game fishing in his later novels. Josephs links the author s thematic preoccupation to the pristine natural world of the past and quest for meaning in the modern world. Concludes that the sport serves as the source for Hemingway s art. Discusses Now I Lay Me, Big Two-Hearted River, The Sun Also Rises, Islands in the Stream, and others. Also published in Josephs s On Hemingway and Spain: Essays & Reviews, 1979-2013, 452-72. Wickford, RI: New Street Communications, 2014.
