Bingham Prize for Debut FictionPart fable, part allegory, The Boatmaker is the haunting and passionate story of a voyage of self-discovery. A fierce and complicated man wakes from a fever dream compelled to build a boat and sail away from the isolated island where he was born. Encountering the wider world for the first time, the reluctant hero falls into a destructive love affair, is swept up into a fanatical religious movement, and finds himself a witness to racial hatred unlike anything hes ever known. The boatmaker is tempted, beaten, and betrayed: his journey marked by chilling episodes of violence and horror while he struggles to summon the strength to make his own way. The Boatmaker is a fable for our times, a passionate love story, and an odyssey of self-discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tin House Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52220138717472,"sku":"NEW1935639986","price":18.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61J75xGm3YL.jpg?v=1787266440","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-boatmaker-1935639986","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
