About half way done with this. Good story, good writing, I love his character and scenery developments because it puts you right there.What's the deal with his (Hemingway's) relationship with Castro? He was in Cuba during some 'hot' times. Was he ever accused of being or was he a communist sympathizer?
Valerie Hemmingway, who may have been his daughter-in-law at one point, had this to say about Hemmingway and Fidel:
There were aspects of Castro that Hemingway admired but he did not want to involve himself in the politics of Cuba. He wanted to live and write in peace.
Does that answer your question?
I've read it as well. Loved it. I felt like I was in that little boat the whole time.
I was in that little boat. Watching a bird of prey roll on its back and nose down into a spilt S? Whom taught the birds, airmen or what?So whom invented the split s, birds of prey, or airmen watching them?Because, I watched a red tailed hawk roll on it's back, and reverse direction. Did the bird learn this from airmen, or did airmen learn it from birds?It's called a "split s", a manure that requires rolling the airplane over to upside down, pulling the stick, and hoping you look like a handsome bird.Did birds learn this from fighter pilots? Or did despatate humans emulate the birds move? Circa WWI.You tell me - I saw a red tailed hawk do this in Big Sur, but when did it learn the manuever?My guess: Airplane pilots learned from birds of prey, but that's just my opinion.Or, maybe birds have brains?
