Key West Hemingway: A Reassessment

Kirk Curnutt and Gail Sinclair

Abstract

Conventional wisdom holds that Hemingway's Key West years were among his least productive, and many are dismissive of the works he produced during that time. In this collection, several Hemingway scholars focus on his overlooked short stories and essays, especially those written for Esquire from 1933 to 1936. They demonstrate how the island inspired some of his most vivid work and discuss how the “Hemingway industry” continues to endure.

Keywords: Hemingway, Key West, Esquire, Hemingway industry
