What on the surface sounds like a pretty dry read, ends up an enthralling meditation on the author's life through the lense of a small town fishing family. At times, the book is quite moving. Carlson states early on in the book of his reluctance to include himself in the story, but it is all the stronger for it. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Tom Carlson tells the story of Ernal Foster and the Foster family of Hatteras Village, who gave birth to what would become the multi-million dollar charter fishing industry on the Outer Banks. Today, Ernal's son, Captain Ernie Foster, struggles to keep the family business alive in a time of great change on the Banks. Within the engaging saga of the rise and decline of one family's livelihood, Carlson relates the history and transformation of Hatteras Village and the high-adrenaline experience of blue-water sportfishing and the industry that surrounds it. Hatteras Blues is their story--a story of triumph and loss, of sturdy Calvinist values and pell-mell American progress, and of fate and luck as capricious as the weather.
