This is the first chapter of a broadly autobiographical novel, the story of an Alaska commercial crab fisherman who sustains a traumatic brain injury while fishing in the Bering Sea. It follows Eric Holloway from his days as a vital young fisherman, through his accident and time in hospital and rehab, and recounts his struggle to find a meaningful life with diability. Though somewhat curmudgeonly and embittered, he is funny, engaging, and sharp.
