AlbakiReads Editorial

Art and wartime action across the Gulf Stream

Published posthumously in 1970, the novel traces Thomas Hudson’s life from the 1930s into World War II. Its settings connect his work as a painter on Bimini with antisubmarine activities off Cuba, bringing artistic life and wartime service into the same story. The supplied description identifies Hudson as an artist and adventurer, while noting a resemblance to Hemingway himself. The novel’s span across these places and periods gives its central character’s changing circumstances the structure of an extended life story.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in classic fiction set around Bimini and Cuba.
  • Those drawn to novels that bring art and World War II-era events together.
  • Readers exploring Hemingway’s posthumously published fiction.

Book overview

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.
