What do you say about a book that, after you finished it, you sat staring at a wall for fifteen minutes while tears flowed down your cheeks? It’s miraculous. I don’t feel that that’s enough, this review isn’t enough. I loved this book, I cannot do it justice. Still, it’s a good challenge to force yourself to examine what made you love a book, so here we go:This book is the ocean.It’s about a fight with God. The book covers roughly 200 years of history, and the sea is the only constant character, a godlike being, who is more of a God to the sailors upon her than God could ever be. No one feels like God condemns them to death, but the depths and ice reach out, and grab the sailors one by one, leaving families in Marstal to grieve over a missing body. The sea has power over every aspect of their lives and they are enthralled to it.It’s a romance. A romance with a frontier, the men that pine for freedom, and the women that pine for their men. It’s all mystery and fate and destiny, and the depths of the soul that, like the sea, are boundless. It’s about the darkness of men. Our bodies are vessels with an ability to store up so much raw power of hate and love. There are always seems to be death and darkness waiting back in Marstal, while the sea provides relief. Yet in the end men turn the sea into an even larger, more dangerous weapon of death, and then, relief can be found back home, in Marstal. The tides turn, they give, and they take, just like the book, just like history.I read this and Lonesome Dove at the same time, and I was struck by author’s ability to use their narrative form to mimic their respective frontier. In Lonesome Dove the words were sparse, the sentences short, the events highly sequential- because that’s how cowboys are, do what is in front of you, then …

It was a big book. I read it. Now I don't know what to make of it.It was a big baggy monster. Its language oddly stiff and awkward. It was a tell don't show book. And I'm not sure why so many supposedly hard-boiled people were so shocked at the sight of Captain Cook's shrunken head either.At one point the book reminded me of One Hundred Years of Solitude and I thought that Jensen wanted to write a Danish version of that, but with a shipyard financial scandal instead of a fruit plantation. However the book doesn't retell Danish history between 1848 and 1945 in the same way that Marquez recreates Columbia's history through the experience of one town. The Baltic setting invites comparison with Buddenbrooks which similarly deals with the changing generations but in a tighter, focussed way.The narrative is about the inhabitants of the Danish coastal town of Marstal and their relationship with the sea-going life. There's a sense of the development of the town, increasing prosperity and better material conditions. On the whole it comes across as a novelization based on an oral history project backed up by raiding the archives at the town museum.This narrative is made up of different voices which are spliced together in a continuous I or we that represents various individuals or groups through the course of the novel. The effect is dislocating. It led to me to expect that the narrative voice would ultimately be that of the eponymous drowned - but no. Nor did I get a sense of why the narrative voice was changing, other than authorial convenience (unless of course it really was an oral history project that had gone rogue).It's the kind of book in which things just happen. The town grows. The violence that seems so ingrained stops. A poor person appears, and she's obviously poor because …

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
Like any self-respecting Minnesotan, I grew up loving the water. During our three warm months, I would fish, swim, and water ski. During our nine cold months, I would ice fish, drunk-swim, and ice-water-ski. But I don’t need to interact with the water. I enjoy it just as much – if not more – on a passive basis. Just plop me down on a beach with a book and a beer, and I’ve found my heaven. Water, you see, invites one to contemplate; it soothes the soul; it stirs the imagination. (Also, so does beer). As a water-lover, I always enjoyed my family’s twice-yearly trips to Duluth, on Minnesota’s north shore, which sits alongside the great inland ocean of Lake Superior. In the winter, we’d go skiing at Lutsen during the day, while spending the night at a lakeside cottage with picture windows facing the water. On those blustery evenings, we’d light a fire and stare out at the waves, which crashed with a sound like thunder against the breakers. In the summer, we’d hike portions of the Superior Trail, visit the lighthouse at Split Rock, and search for agates on the beach (which I’ve come to learn is simply a way to occupy kids, when the water is too cold for swimming). I still love Duluth, the coastal feel of it. Once, it was the quintessential port city: founded by the French near a natural portage; situated at a nexus of water and rail; at one time as busy a shipping hub as New York City. It was a city that thrived on, and was given life by, Lake Superior. That was the good. The bad, of course, were those November gales made famous by the balladeer Gordon Lightfoot. Today, Duluth feels more like a college town than a port city. Still, when you walk down by the shore, with the dead fish smell, the mournful bellow of a foghorn, the winking lights of navigation buoys, and a long ore boat stretched out on the horizon, you can’t …
