Customer Reviews

Perhaps a single flaw

Good stuff, with a single flaw. Two novellas, very different. The first set in the Antarctic, the second in Manhattan and Eastern Europe. In the first a narrator tells a story of a death aboard a Coast Guard icebreaker in the Southern Ocean. I thought the distance provided by the narrator was a wonderful device, and enjoyed seeing the clues into the narrator's own personality from the narration. The flaw is the ending which is one section too long. The second story of death and memory is good stuff, a near perfect combination of interior and exterior detail. These are well worth the novella size effort.
