Description
The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea is a suspenseful and lyrical tale of youth and warped masculinity. A group of thirteen-year-old boys reject the adult world, seeking a brutal callousness they call 'objectivity'. Their idealisation of a ship's officer is short-lived, as they conclude that he is soft and romantic, and this disillusionment is met with deliberate and horrifying retribution. Translated by John Nathan, this Japanese novel is a page-turning exploration of the complexities of human nature. With its lyrical prose and thought-provoking themes, it is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in literary fiction. Published in 2000, this edition features a new translation that brings the author's work to a new generation of readers.
