First published in 1970, nine years after Ernest Hemingway's death, Islands in the Stream is the story of an artist and adventurer -- a man much like Hemingway himself. Rich with the uncanny sense of life and action characteristic of his writing -- from his earliest stories (In Our Time) to his last novella (The Old Man and the Sea) -- this compelling novel contains both the warmth of recollection that inspired A Moveable Feast and a rare glimpse of Hemingway's rich and relaxed sense of humor, which...

July 30, 2009: There is no better testement to the universiality of Hemminway's powers of observation than this novel. I consider the first chapter of this book to be among the best ever written. Harry Morgan, a regular blue collar guy makes a deal with a rich client to take him fishing. The wealthy man then stiffs him on the bill and flees. This is an almost perfect metaphor for the great depression of the 1930s: the working man paying the price for the excessess of the wealthy. Sound...

Hemingway himself observed that a work of fiction can cast light on what is thought to be true. He remains one of the major icons of the last century and has come to represent a way of living as opposed to a man who had as many regrets as the next. Through the medium of time travel, the man and the artist come to life at his robust best and diminished finale as he reflects on his art, life, loves, successes, failures and marriages and returns to many of the places he loved; including Venice, Key West, Cuba,...

for whom the bell tolls (DVD)
Jordan joins a group of Spanish guerrilla fighters whose mission is to blow up a bridge behind enemy lines. Ingrid Bergman plays Maria, a beautiful Spanish refugee who has been rendered mute by the trauma of a rape. Over the course of four days, Maria and Jordan fall head over heels in love, a plotline that subsumes the fighting and the war itself. Still, it is Katina Paxinou as Pilar, the hen mother of the guerrilla troop, who steals the show in her Oscar-winning performance.

"Arguing persuasively throughout this text, Burwell demonstrates the literary, professional, personal, and chronologically relational nature of the tetralogy. She thoroughly documents every aspect of her analysis, her claims and speculations, revealing a formidable knowledge of Hemingway's life and work, as well as the body of scholarship which surrounds and supports him, sometimes protectively. Making use of materials, letters and manuscripts earlier close to (or ignored by) scholars, she forges...

April 04, 2008: My first brush with Hemingway was probably one of his short stories (although I can't think of what now) back in grade school, but the very first novel of his that I read was 'A Farewell to Arms' in high school. Compared to Shakespeare, 'Beowulf,' and 'Candide,' Hemingway's simple prose was a breath of fresh air and I came to appreciate him for that. He demonstrated that literature didn't have to be full of jargon in order to be appreciated as 'classic.' Unfortunately...

First published in 1926, "The Torrents of Spring" is a hilarious parody of the Chicago school of literature. Poking fun at that "great race" of writers, it depicts a vogue that Hemingway himself refused to follow. In style and substance, "The Torrents of Spring" is a burlesque of Sherwood Anderson's "Dark Laughter," but in the course of the narrative, other literary tendencies associated with American and British writers akin to Anderson -- such as D. H. Lawrence, James Joyce, and John Dos Passos...

March 02, 2006: In Our Time by Ernest Hemingway is a novel that can be read in one sitting, but takes a few coffee sessions to discuss. Hemingway is pretty cryptic with his writing so it takes some effort on the reader's part to 'translate' just one story into the larger concept being explored. The book itself contains several short stories that seem completely independent of each other, but are actually so intertwined with each other that it becomes a task to sort it all out. This makes...
