Bob, or Man on Boat - by Peter Markus (Paperback)

About the Book

Debut novel from this well-regarded, established, story writer.

Book Synopsis

"Markus has a remarkable ability to strip life down to its basics, to the point where the metaphors we manufacture as the looking-glass for our existence end up standing in for existence itself. Fish, mud, night and river come to stand in place of family connections as fathers and sons, by giving themselves to fishing give themselves over to a lone search and to loss."--Brian Evenson, author of The Open Curtain

Peter Markus has published three story collections and lives in Michigan.
