The North Water

This novel seems to be about whaling and the vision of a not very successful captain. But it turns out that it is really about two of the men, their needs and desires, the differences in their personalities, what mechanisms help each to survive. They are not terribly likeable, but they are painted by the author very realistically and with great skill. The prose is beautiful even though the story is brutal.

The prose is beautiful in the excerpt I read. Now I need to read the rest of the book.
