Více o knize

The narrative follows Skipper, an ex-World War II naval Lieutenant, as he navigates his tumultuous past filled with tragic losses—suicides, murder, and violence—while caring for his granddaughter on a remote island. He reflects on his "naked history," blending memories with his present life as an artificial inseminator of cows, seeking to reclaim lost innocence. The author skillfully juxtaposes stark suffering with moments of beauty, creating a rich tapestry of experiences that transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, often with surreal elements.
