| Description: |
A novel that is at once both mythic and fanciful. It offers a narrative poem that recounts the life of Irishman Jim O'Connor, a tragic figure who was born with a preternatural gift for poetry, that brought him early fame, but he is also an alcoholic who suffered his first alcoholic coma at just 12 years of age. |
| Synopsis: |
This is a beautifully haunting, fascinating, and unique novel that recounts its tale in verse. "Inside the Whale" is a strikingly original novel that is at once both mythic and fanciful. It is a narrative poem that recounts the life of Irishman Jim O'Connor, a tragic figure who was born with a preternatural gift for poetry, that brought him early fame, but he is also an alcoholic who suffered his first alcoholic coma at just 12 years of age. The stanzas of the novel recount Jim's tragic exploits as he leaves a wake of dark destruction behind him. The ghost of his ex-girlfriend Anne, killed in a car crash on a slick, snowy road with Jim driving after an acute drinking binge, haunt Jim to the end of his days. |
