Pincher Martin

Drowning in the freezing North Atlantic, Christopher Hadley Martin, temporary lieutenant, happens upon a grotesque rock, an island that appears only on weather charts. To drink there is a pool of rain water; Through the long hours with only himself to talk to, Martin must try to assemble the truth of his fate, piece by terrible piece.

Inecandu-se in inghetatul Atlantic de Nord, Christopher Hadley Martin, locotenent temporar, se intampla pe o stanca grotesca, o insula care apare doar pe topurile vremii. De baut exista un bazin cu apa de ploaie; In timpul orelor lungi cu care sa vorbeasca numai el insusi, Martin trebuie sa incerce sa adune adevarul soartei sale, bucata cu bucata cumplita.
