Description
A portrait of the Gloucester fishermen - made famous by The Perfect Storm - that takes you deep inside their world.
This powerful work brings the reader along with the fishermen as they plow the treacherous sea in search of the elusive and dwindling schools of fish. Kim Bartlett lets us hear the men speak and puts us right on the boat with them.
"This book is alive with people who live and work in a way most of us have never experienced. It...is done in a reportorial style that shows us, rather than tells us, about their days at sea and at home...There is virtually no sermonizing, no attempt to paint these men as especially heroic or noble...Because Kim Bartlett has kept himself, and any theories he may have, out of this book, because he has shown us the fisherman of Gloucester in their own words and lives, he has given us something valuable." - New York Times Book Review
