A riveting, beautiful novel in verse by Australia's greatest contemporary poet, winner of the 1996 T. S. Eliot Prize.I never learned the old top ropes,I was always in steam.Less capstan, less climbing,more restowing cargo.Which could be hard and slowas farming but to sayWhy this is Valparaiso!Or: I'm in Singapore and know my way abouttakes a long time to get stale.from Book I, 'The Middle Sea'When GermanAustralian sailor Friedrich 'Fredy' Boettcher is shanghaied aboard a German Navy battleship at the outbreak of World War I, the sight of frenzied mobs burning Armenian women to death in Turkey causes him, through moral shock, to lose his sense of touch. This mysterious disability, which he knows he must hide, is both protection and curse, as he orbits the high horror and low humor of a catastrophic age.Told in a bluecollar English that regains freshness by eschewing the mindset of literary language, Fredy's picaresque lifeas, perhaps, the only Nordic Superman everis deepdyed in layers of irony and attains a mindinverting resolution.
