Title
The Fishing Was Good Too: Cuban Writer Claims Torrid Love Affair with Jane Mason Drew Hemingway to Havana
Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Questions the validity of biographical events recounted by Cuban writer Enrique Cirules in his book Ernest Hemingway in the Romano Archipelago (1999). Deibler specifically examines Cirules’s claims about Hemingway’s affair with Mason and his involvement in World War II, arguing that Cirules’s ambiguous book most likely mixed facts from Hemingway’s own life with those of Thomas Hudson of Islands in the Stream; nevertheless, it testifies to the enduring myth of Hemingway in Cuban culture.
