Description
Tabitha Lasley's Sea State offers a candid and explosive portrayal of masculinity, loneliness, and female desire. In this memoir, she examines her own life and that of North Sea oil riggers, shedding light on an overlooked industry and its subculture. Lasley's journey began when she quit her job at a women's magazine, left London, and moved to Aberdeen to research the oil rigs and their workers. Her goal was to understand what men were like without the influence of women. The result is a complex exploration of class, masculinity, and desire, set against the backdrop of an industry that has shaped generations of British workers. Through her own story and those of the rig workers she encountered, Lasley reveals the potent metaphor of offshore life, where traditional notions of security and identity are constantly tested.
