Thousand Sailors Michael Fontana

The drowning of an unknown woman leads the narrator, a sailor among hundreds of others, on a journey at sea, both in concrete and spiritual terms, moving from the storms and shallows of sex into a mystery far deeper, changing his life and the lives of those around him. Told in prose that is dark and poetic, Michael Fontana's brief novel captures the essence of one man's journey to self-discovery.
