A 100-page story about a Cuban fishermen who sets out to catch a big fish. In between him talking to himself there are detailed descriptions of him pulling on his lines, having backache, and feeling hungry.
It’s effect on modern literature is lost to me – perhaps some see in it an epic of man conquering nature, but all I found was a disturbing story about the mindless destruction of wildlife.
