Description: "Drawing primarily on Ernest Hemingway's handwritten and unpublished fishing logs and from published and unpublished correspondence and newspaper articles, Mark P. Ott structures this literary biography chronologically to tell the story of Hemingway's life as it becomes immersed in the Gulf Stream. Ott connects To Have and Have Not and The Old Man and the Sea with Hemingway's philosophical and stylistic transformation as he became increasingly educated in the natural world. A Sea of Change is the first study to examine Hemingway's complex relationship with the Gulf Stream and how it transformed his fiction."--Jacket.
