The Fisherman's Son by Michael Koepf
Drifting in a life raft off the northern California coast after a horrifying shipwreck, Neil Kruger retreats from his fear by recalling scenes from his childhood. He finds solace in memories of his father, a taciturn man who introduced him to the fisherman's life; his mother, who worked at the local cannery to keep the family fed; and a host of local fishermen, whose battles with the sea become for Neil both a model and a tragic foreshadowing of his own fate.At once a stunning evocation of a dying world and an intimate story of a troubled family, The Fisherman's Son is a triumphant and utterly authentic novel about our lifelines to childhood and the pull of the sea.
Michael Köepf worked for nineteen years as a commercial fisherman, the same trade as that of his father and brothers. Formerly a journalist and a teacher, he is currently writing a screenplay on Lewis and Clark for Steven Spielberg's Dreamworks SKG. Köepf lives in Elk, California.
