Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Voyage Along the Horizon revolves around an intrepid expedition: the eccentric, wealthy Captain Kerrigan, an attractive man with a shadowy past, organizes a trip to Antarctica for a select group of writers, artists, and scientists.
Amid sudden kidnappings, torrid manuscripts, Edwardian spinsters, and lethal duels, this seafaring tale is also a narrative of psychology, obsession, the writerâs craft, and human nature, all of which MarÃas has wrapped up in an evocative, nostalgic novel that is both witty and dark. Fascinated by the question of uncertainty, MarÃas eschews the solution and prefers to revel in the narrative process itself, and asks the reader to consider the possibility that the truth as we know it isnât nearly as interesting as its own shadow.
