Status Updates From El viejo y el mar

(Part 2/2) To them them I'll direct them to the following quote by the man himself: "Then there is the other secret. There isn’t any symbolysm. The sea is the sea. The old man is an old man. The boy is a boy and the fish is a fish. The shark are all sharks no better and no worse. All the symbolism that people say is shit. What goes beyond is what you see beyond when you know. A writer should know too much."

I have been planning to check this out - what better than an audio book narrated by the warm deep voice of Mr. Bennet (2005), THE Donald Sutherland.
