I’ve not been yet in the U.S. These days however, a good reason to drive me there would be to visit Key West: I have just been re-reading Hemingways’s  “To have and Have not” and now I fancy a quick trip to this very tiny island, about 6 km long and 3 km wide. Key West City  international airport provides services and, as a matter of fact, there many available Florida Flights nowdays…On board his boat Hemingway’s hero Harry Morgan the smuggler, navigates between Key West and Cuba: a boat full of illegal spirits and Chinese clandestines. Hard and tough, Harry Morgan is the symbol of  every outcast “condemned” to make use of whatever risky trick in order  to survive a society split between who has and who has not. Generally speaking I don’t especially appreciate Hemingway’s narrative; yet  this short novel published in 1937 at the end of the Great Depression, inspired by that era, still conveys strong suggestions. In the present economic world trend, Morgan’s character  sounds so contemporary as his misadventure.
