About the Author:
Review:
Paul Watkins is the author of six books, including Night Over Day Over Night, which was published when he was twenty-three and was nominated for the prestigious Booker Prize. Calm at Sunset, Calm at Dawn was awarded Britain's Encore prize for best second novel. Archangel, his sixth book, is published by Picador. Watkins teaches and lives with his family in Princeton, New Jersey.
“The raw elegance of human experience itself . . . Dazzlingly rendered . . . Watkins is an author whose work should be read with great respect.” ―Carolyn See, Los Angeles Times
“Intense and precise . . . First-rate . . . A book that will have a value and appeal for more than sea-story lovers. It is written out of acute feeling and experience, in the voice of an artful storyteller.” ―John Casey, Chicago Tribune
“Masterly . . . Follows in the tradition of John Steinbeck . . . The work of a young writer who is a force to be reckoned with.” ―Christian Science Monitor
“Calm at Sunset, Calm at Dawn is no romantic novel of crusty, taciturn fishermen with hearts of gold. The work is backbreaking and the sea merciless . . . Watkins is a good writer, and the evidence is everywhere on each page.” ―David Nicholson, The Washington Post Book World
“Paul Watkins has a fine ear . . . The scenes of shipboard life and the hardships suffered there are especially vivid, and the writing is lyrical without being strained.” ―Jack Flam, The Wall Street Journal

Book Description Quarter Cloth. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Edition. New York, Houghton-Mifflin, 1989. First edition. 8vo. Blue quarter cloth over blue boards with silver lettering embossed on spine, textured maroon endpapers, 275 pp. This book tells the story of James Pfeiffer's twentieth year, a year of rebellion, initiation, and change. In staccato prose as dazzling as sun on water, it vividly captures the maritime life in all its rank immediacy and elemental mystery. Moving, violent, at times ferociously funny, this superb novel is an absolutely fresh addition to the venerable tradition of tales of the sea and the men who work its generous but unforgiving depth. New in a new dust jacket, protected by a mylar cover. Seller Inventory # EM-B1206-12
