„And yet I have known the sea too long to believe in its respect for decency. An elemental force is ruthlessly frank.“

The novel is almost entirely dialogue in direct speech, with very few descriptive or reflective passages. Here the young man digests the fact that his dream of having his own command has come true. The sentences combine abstract metaphysical elevation with the sensual concreteness in the description of the ship's body.
All these hopes will of course be entirely shattered, as they must.

A young man's vision of achievement, of mastering his own fate and doing it right, expressed before it all breaks down.

Hello #bookstodon
I went into this - the last book of my 2022 Modern Library Classics Challenge - not knowing anything about it and thinking I would be disappointed. Boy was I wrong!
It's a slow burn psychological thriller with great characters and expressive, evocative language. Based on Goodreads, people either like it or hate it. I'm in the Like It Camp.
