"To Have and Have Not" contains three stories, all centered on one individual, Harry Morgan. Morgan, who dies in the third and longest story, is one of a number of individuals whose misspent lives revolve around boats, fishing, alcohol, more alcohol, Key West and Havana. The prose is sparse, and coarse, and to the point, like all of Hemingway. It was written in 1937. I still don't understand how he won a Nobel Prize.
