Document Type
Article
Annotation
Seeks to complicate traditional studies that interpret Hemingway’s life and work as “American.” Herlihy-Mera draws on multicultural theory to situate the intercultural author and his writings within their Cuban context, discussing Hemingway’s daily life at the Finca Vigía, multilingualism, multicultural sense of identity, and contributions to Cuban literature. Explores similar political and cultural connections between Hemingway and Santiago of The Old Man and the Sea as immigrants to the island. Concludes that Cuba shaped “Hemingway’s life and writing perhaps more than any other place.”
