We embark on a journey through the Gulf Stream, off Cuba's coast, to delve into Ernest Hemingway's final and iconic novella, The Old Man and the Sea. Is this merely a story of man versus nature, a contemporary retelling of the Jesus narrative, or an autobiographical allegory reflecting Hemingway's own writing challenges? Or "Is all the symbolism people say shit?" Join us as we explore what lies beyond the surface of this timeless, and truer-than-true, fisherman's tale.
