A very moody seaside novella about a young man making his living in the hardscrabble world of shanking, scraping shrimp from the low waters with his horse and cart, coming home to the simple cottage where he lives with his mom, getting up and doing it all over again. One day a man appears who wants to put him in a movie, waving money and just the whole concept of “something else.” Just the idea of something else changes him. This book was slow and evocative and a nice place to be in.
