Struck by lightning, a man wakes up with no memory of who he is and how he came to be injured and adrift on a kayak out at sea, and must rely on his instincts, resilience and imagination to get safely back to the woman he dimly senses is waiting for his return.
Out at sea, in a sudden storm, a man is struck by lightning. This is a beautiful, brief, terrifying novel, recently excerpted in The New Yorker, by a writer Eimear McBride calls utterly brilliant.
Out at sea, in a sudden storm, a man is struck by lightning. When he wakes, injured and adrift on a kayak, his memory of who he is and how he came to be here is all but shattered. He will need to rely on his instincts, resilience, and imagination to get safely back to the woman he dimly senses is waiting for his return. This is an extraordinary, visceral portrait of a man locked in a struggle with the forces of nature.
