    • Abstract:
      In all, I Cuban Quartermoon i is both a novel of trauma and healing, as well as a fascinating look at the relationship between western American scholars and Cuba through the conduit of Hemingway studies. Replete with a ragtag cast of Hemingway scholars and I aficionados i from both the United States and Cuba, Putnam's novel highlights Cuba as an integral setting - and Hemingway as a critical author - for Laura's psychological and cultural awakenings. Ann Putnam's I Cuban Quartermoon i chronicles central protagonist Laura Gallagher's trip to Havana, Cuba, for an Ernest Hemingway conference, traversing both time and place as she navigates traumatic memories from her past.
