By Ernest Hemingway

Il avait plusieurs cercles, et ils n’étaient pas formés comme ceux du grand égotiste florentin. Il pensait que sur le bateau il pourrait parvenir à un accommodement avec l. a. douleur, ne sachant pas encore qu’il n’y a pas d’accommodement avec los angeles douleur.»
Les trois récits qui composent Îles à los angeles dérive furent publiés à titre posthume. On y rencontre Thomas Hudson, peintre et double de l’auteur, dans une partie de pêche avec ses enfants, puis à Cuba durant los angeles Seconde Guerre mondiale, en mer enfin chassant les sous-marins allemands. L’histoire d’un homme pour qui l. a. vie, faite de combats, de tournées dans les bars et de souffrance, est l’envers de los angeles création.
