FINALIST FOR THE 2014 ABA INDIES CHOICE BOOK AWARD
The "luminous" (Cleveland Plain Dealer) and "poetic" (Boston Globe) debut novel-"at once lyrical and precise" (The New York Times Book Review)—about a man "unmoored by memory and time" (Entertainment Weekly), by the "quotidian-surreal craft-master"
(New York Magazine) novelist Paul Yoon.
He came by sea. On the cargo ship he was their only passenger. In the last days of the ship's journey it had grown warm and when he remarked that there was no snow, the crew members laughed. They had been throwing fish over- board, as they always did, for luck, and he watched as the birds twisted their bodies in the wind and dove. He had never seen the ocean before, had never journeyed so far as he had in this month alone. He was called Yohan and he was twenty-five years old.
