Ernest Hemingway’s association with Florida is most commonly defined by his time spent in Key West during the 1930s. However, in “The Strange Country,” published posthumously as part of “The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway,” the protagonist and his much younger girlfriend embark on a road trip odyssey from Miami to New Orleans, stopping in many distinct Florida locales along the way and catching up on news of the Spanish Civil War. In this episode, I’m joined by my brother, John Nank, an erstwhile Hemingway fanboy, to talk about “The Strange Country.” Find further reading and a full transcript at FloridaBookClub.com.
