Abstract

The collection revisits Hemingway's experiences in Cuba through critical views from scholars in Cuba and Puerto Rico. Carlos Peón Casas's "Hemingway in Cuban Contexts" reflects on Hemingway's popular image in Cuba and on how work has influenced Cuban writers. Enrique Cirules's "Ernest Hemingway and the Faded Fame of Antonio Gattorno" examines Hemingway's role in the life of Cuban artist Antonio Gattorno. "El Picador and the Prisoner," by Raúl Villarreal and Michael Curry, delivers new context to Hemingway's relationship with the people of San Francisco de Paula, including two previously unpublished incidents that occurred at the Finca Vigía. The final piece, "Fathering Under the Influence" by Gregory Stephens, delves into how alcoholism and loss of parental custody, in a specifically Cuban context, shaped Hemingway's approach to fatherhood.
