Between books, we like to "cleanse our palates" by sharing a book that means a lot to us. This week, Tex has chosen the winner of the 1953 Pulitzer Prize, The Old Man and the Sea by Earnest Hemingway.
Set against the backdrop of the Cuban coast, Hemingway's masterpiece immerses readers in the poignant tale of Santiago, an aging fisherman, as he grapples with the enduring struggle between man and nature, courage and defeat.
Throughout the episode, Sam and Tex engage in a thoughtful discussion, dissecting the rich tapestry of themes woven into Hemingway's prose. From the symbolism of the marlin to the metaphorical significance of Santiago's relentless pursuit, they unravel the layers of meaning embedded within the text.
