but it's just about the most disgusting. I mean, the imagery and all. But I read it.
It's a sort of dreamy nautical narrative about a little boy who finds himself in an abusive, to say the least, situation. He starts out cleaning fish, as I remember...
I loved the book and his creative style. One of the best I've read this year. It allows the images to carry the story and does not beat one over the head with plot. Images from a boy who hasn't learned to speak in clever cliche's, sophisticated metaphors, and tricks of writers. Honest and open and something worth reading for its journey.
