Description
Joe, a rootless young man, finds work on a barge navigating the Clyde River, a journey that becomes entangled with a dark mystery. The discovery of a drowned woman's body raises unsettling questions, casting a shadow over Joe's transient existence and the lives of those around him. This taut narrative explores themes of identity, desire, and the hidden currents of guilt that run beneath the surface of ordinary life. Trocchi's stark, unsparing prose plunges the reader into a world of moral ambiguity and existential unease.
