Essay
Annotation
Examines Hemingway’s impulse to write autobiographically alongside the reader’s impulse to interpret his work biographically, and introduces an analogy between the fisherman and writers and readers. Focuses on “Big Two-Hearted River” and The Old Man and the Sea, comparing both to Norman Maclean’s A River Runs Through It (1976).
