I reread The Sun Also Rises in early May 2012, and I'm rereading The Old Man and the Sea in early May 2014.
Who else could get away with "the Yankees of New York" or the "Indians of Cleveland" or the boy, the man, the fish, and a gigantic feat of "hand game" (arm wrestling) against a powerful "Negro" that then causes said opponent to lose all confidence?
Nevertheless, I recommend, and I see Powell's has one for sale at the airport!
"Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is."
--Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea
Alex Kudera’s award-winning novel, Fight for Your Long Day (Atticus Books), was drafted in a walk-in closet during a summer in Seoul, South Korea.
