- Annotation
- Personal essay by the grandson of John Dos Passos explores the family's ancestral connection to the ocean and the passion for fishing that helped to fuel the friendship with Hemingway. Recounts Dos's boyhood in the maritime culture of Virginia and his later life on Cape Cod with his wife Katy, the former Katherine Smith, Hemingway's summer friend in Horton Bay. Details a friendship with a charter boat mariner, Charlie Mayo, and the grief and guilt that followed Katy's death in a car collision. Also mentions that Dos's literary estate includes more than 600 of his watercolor paintings and charcoal or pencil sketches, most never exhibited since the 1930s.
