In 1949, the ever-adventurous Ernest Hemingway penned an account of his fishing exploits along the coasts of Key West & Cuba. The rarely seen manuscript originally appeared in the July 1949 issue of HOLIDAY Magazine & is now being released in a fine press edition by Big Fish Books. MARLIN! features all of the author's exacting tackle specifications & an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gabriel Garcia Marquez (who spins a few fish stories of his own, including the one about Hemingway's unceasing infatuation with that legendary Cuban refreshment, the Floridita daiquiri.) To top it all off, MARLIN! boasts original woodcuts by Neil Shigley & dramatic, duotone photographs of the author & his crew in robust, marlin-reeling action.
