The Yellow Sailor by Steve Weiner





The Yellow Sailor by Steve Weiner
Information
This extraordinary novel, moodily operatic in
tone and by turns hallucinatory and brilliantly detailed, follows the
trajectories of four sailors and the owner of a German merchant ship, Yellow
Sailor, which sets sail from Bremen in 1914. After the ship wrecks in shallow
water, the men drift their separate ways, with each man's journey across a
desolate wartime European landscape becoming an exploration of the failure of
love, sex, religion, and friendship. Julius Bernai, owner of the ship and
frankly homosexual, checks into an institute for nervous disorders and falls in
love with the doctor's fiancée. Nicholas Bremml drifts: from the beds of
numerous prostitutes to an oil tanker called Erwartung— Expectation—to Prague's
Jewish market, where he sells magic spells. Brothers Karl and Alois are equally
rudderless, and Jacek, the electrician, goes to work in the mines, where his
love advice to a fourteen-year-old Polish boy precipitates a macabre murder.
