SPAN 55.16 Hemingway in Cuba
Few American writers have been as closely tied to a place and its history as Ernest Hemingway was to Cuba. In Havana and along its coasts, Hemingway lived, wrote, and witnessed some of the most important political transformations in the Caribbean. This course explores the relationship between writer and place, examining how Cuba shaped Hemingway’s imagination and how his works, in turn, came to shape global perceptions of Cuba and U.S.–Cuba relations.
