*** Recipient of the Prix Gens de Mer (Mariner's Prize) *** A college student in need of quick money finds work on an Alaskan fishing boat in the unforgiving Bering Sea; little did he realize the dark-hearted exploration he was enjoining. The North Line is a ruggedly erudite story that combines the best of the individualism of Jack London with the introspective ruminations of Raymond Carver.
--S.A. Cosby New York Times bestselling author of All the Sinners Bleed A frightening story of tough men pushed to the brink... I couldn't put it down.
--David Sedaris Even at the ragged edge of civilization, some lines should not be crossed. Everyone believes Adam to be something he's not. Sometimes that's because he's told them a story. Sometimes he's told himself one. But when Adam joins an Alaskan fishing crew that's promising quick money, the dangerous work and harsh lifestyle strip away all fabrications and force a dark-hearted exploration of who he really is. On the unforgiving Bering Sea, Adam finds the adventure and authenticity of a fisherman's life revelatory. The labor required to seize bounty from the ocean invigorates him, and the often crude comradery accompanies a welcome, hard-earned wisdom. But when a strike threatens the entire season and violence stalks the waves, Adam is thrust into a struggle for survival at the edge of the world, where evolutionary and social forces collide for outcomes beyond anyone's control. In his riveting debut novel, Matt Riordan pairs personal experiences with a master storyteller's eye in a piercing examination of the quest for identity in the face of tempests within and without.
