I don’t know the last time I’ve been so floored by an author’s prose. Absolutely stunning.

Proulx’s mastery of vocabulary is absolutely staggering. I found myself pausing repeatedly to pick sentences apart word for word in an attempt to understand how Proulx had assembled them so beautifully. If the exceptional prose isn’t enough for you, the story is both funny and tender to its core. It’s about a man becoming a man he can respect, set amidst the enchanting atmosphere of a Newfoundland fishing town.
