Many of his books were Cuban related as he lived there for quite a considerable period and love the country. Books like "The Old Man and the Sea" shows traditional Cuban culture whilst highlighting the simplistic values and themes life must be lived by.
Who has read his books and who enjoys them? You either love or hate this guy? Let's hear it comrades!

The Old Man and the Sea & The Sun Also Rises are personal favourites of mine. Hemingway, imho, was one of the few writers that truly epitomized the triumphs and struggles of his era.

i really like the sun also rises... there is just something extremely catchy about his simplicity.

Doesn't Cuba has an annual fishing competition in honour of Hemingway?
