THE OLD MAN AND THE SEARead about the other books on Green's list.
by Ernest Hemingway
A short but beautiful novel about the relationship between a young boy and an old man and the old man's struggle to catch a giant marlin. I love the respect that the man has for his quarry. I also admire the novel for its economy of style.
The Old Man and the Sea appears among Dave Boling's five best examples of how to structure a novel.
