About this listen

 A later, posthumously published classic following the adventures of a painter in the midst of World War II.

First published in 1970, nine years after Hemingway's death, this is the story of an artist and adventurer—a man much like Hemingway himself. Beginning in the 1930s, Islands in the Stream follows the fortunes of Thomas Hudson, from his experiences as a painter on the Gulf Stream island of Bimini through his antisubmarine activities off the coast of Cuba during World War II. Hemingway is at his mature best in this beguiling tale.©1970 Mary Hemingway; ©1970 Charles Scribner's Sons.

Not that there is anything wrong with that, I found the accumulation of misery culminating the way it did to be disturbing but, nonetheless, an interesting if not gripping read. Also, and I'm not sure if this dissappoints me, but there seems to be a recurring thread in Hemingways books. The ones I have read anyway. Thought the narrator and overall presentation was outstanding.

I found it somewhat morbid.

Simply fantastic. Hemingway is still the genius of his time. I’m going into my next Hemingway two books from now.

Brilliant

My first experience with audio books and I really enjoyed listening during long drives. Loved the book, felt so sorry when it ended. Narrator's voice and interpretation excellent! I will look for more audio books for sure.

The story had a cast of interesting characters whom the narrator brought to life well.

Masterfully crafted story and very well read.
