Coastal Fishing

September 17, 2020 by Simon Robinson 1 Comment

Pity the fish.

Hemingway was long presumed to have exhausted his creativity when he produced a novella out of the blue, so to speak. The Old Man and the Sea was first published in just one edition of Life magazine which sold 5,300,000 copies in two days. And that’s today’s story, a tale of five million likes in just a few 1951 days and zillions more since. Not bad for a book the literary critics say is among Hemingway’s least significant works. Perhaps that became easier to say after he had won the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature on account of books like The Old Man and the Sea.

While on the subject of pity and fishing, here are seven photos of fishing activities and the like around the coast here in South County Dublin.
