Show Notes

Andrew Feldman joins us to talk about his book Ernesto: The Untold Story of Hemingway in Revolutionary Cuba.
 
What did Cuba mean to Papa and what has Papa meant to Cuba? To explore the place where Hemingway spent much of his adult life and Ernest became Ernesto, we discuss Hemingway's relationship to the Cuban people, his engagement with Cuban politics, and some of his greatest works, including The Old Man and the Sea and A Moveable Feast.  

Feldman gives One True Podcast a debrief on his extraordinary two-year research trip to Havana and its environs, where he spent the majority of his time in Hemingway's storied home, the Finca Vigía.
