PROULX, E. ANNE. The Shipping News.
Simon and Schuster, Inc., New York: 1994. 0671510053 / 9780671510053 Third Printing. s Softcover. Fair condition. Has some coffe stains.
In this touching and atmospheric novel set among the fishermen of Newfoundland, Proulx tells the story of Quoyle. From all outward appearances, Quoyle has gone through his first 36 years on earth as a big schlump of a loser. He's not attractive, he's not brilliant or witty or talented, and he's not the kind of person who typically assumes the central position in a novel. But Proulx creates a simple and compelling tale of Quoyle's psychological and spiritual growth. Along the way, we get to look in on the maritime beauty of what is probably a disappearing way of life. "The Shipping News . . . is that rare creation, a lyric page turner." - Stephen Jones, Chicago Tribune
