Annotation
In addition to a brief biography covering familiar elements of Hemingway's life and literary accomplishments, Fischer sums up the 1941 Pulitzer Prize controversy over For Whom the Bell Tolls and 1953 jury deliberations awarding the prize to The Old Man and the Sea, an honor considered long overdue by many. Quotes extensively from the Swedish Academy's 1954 Nobel Prize ceremony speech and Hemingway's acceptance speech. Concludes with a synopsis of The Old Man and the Sea and sample passages from the novella.
