From the acclaimed author Paul Theroux comes a stunning novel that follows a large-wave surfer in Hawaii as he confronts aging, privilege, and mortality.
Joe Sharkey knows he has passed his prime. Now in his sixties, the younger surfers around the waves of the North Shore of Oahu continue to respect him as the once-legendary 'Shark', but his sponsors have moved on, and Joe wonders what new future awaits him on the horizon. He hopes for uninterrupted quality time with the ocean. Life has other plans.
When he accidentally hits and kills a man near Waimea while driving drunk, he fears he will never recover. Under the guidance of his persistent and loyal girlfriend Olive, he embarks on the discovery of the victim’s story. But what they find in Max Mulgrave is completely unexpected: a shared story - and refuge in the sea.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Hawaii, Theroux captures the glory and nostalgia of reflecting on a rich and adventurous past, while learning to navigate the next unexpected wave of life.
Paul Theroux's writing skills are disciplined and muscular, his ear finely tuned like that of a musician, his eye sharper than any razor.
