Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative explores the perilous Columbia River Bar, known as the Graveyard of the Pacific, where over two thousand ships have met their fate. It intertwines maritime history, personal memoir, and adventure journalism as Randall Sullivan embarks on a kayak journey across this treacherous stretch of water. Reflecting on his father's legacy and themes of toxic masculinity and fatherhood, Sullivan navigates both the physical dangers of the bar and the emotional complexities of his past, all while examining the evolution of maritime navigation and its impact on local communities.
