Synopsis

"In the spring of 1934 an adventurous twenty-two-year-old aspiring writer, Arnold Samuelson, hitchhiked from Minneapolis to Key West to meet Ernest Hemingway. Instead of turning him away, Hemingway hired him to guard his new cabin cruiser, 'Pilar,' and became the young man's mentor in the craft of writing." This memoir, which came to light after Samuelson's death in 1981, edited and published by his daughter, "recounts the remarkable year he spent with his idol - fishing for sailfish and marlin in the deep waters of the Gulf Stream, meeting Hemingway's friends, including poet Archibald MacLeish and bullfighter Sidney Franklin."
