Hemingway in Cuba, with an Introduction by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Secaucus: Lyle Stuart, 1984. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Very Good plus price-clipped dust jacket with light wear at the spine. Fuentes traces Hemingway's life in Cuba and the same settings in which Harry Morgan of Having and Not Having, Santiago of The Old Man and the Sea and Thomas Hudson of Islands in the Gulf acted. Here is the unpublished correspondence, the aggressive annotations on books and magazines, the war objects and trophies that Hemingway accumulated for twenty-two years, and the memories that remain in the memory of fishermen, smugglers and veteran fighters of anti-submarine operations. Characters and settings that were previously known as fiction and that have now emerged into reality at the hands of Norberto Fuentes, with his unmistakable narrative pulse and his meticulous, almost obsessive investigation. In the words of another Nobel Prize winner, the prologue Gabriel García Márquez: "The end result is this fierce and clarifying report that brings us back to the living and slightly childish Hemingway that many of us thought we could only glimpse between the lines of his master stories."
