raw. straight-forward. honest. maybe a bit crude and vulgar at times.
An indelible unique enchanting book that was sometimes hard to get through.
As a student of literature and history in my first academic life, there were aspects of this I really enjoyed. In particular, it was great to read some more of Marcus Rediker's work; he was one of my favorite professors at Georgetown. At the same time, I was surprised at how often a scholar's research felt like guesswork along the lines of: "So-and-so wrote this, by which he/she meant that." A few of the essays felt like the author was making the facts fit the theory, rather than the other way around. I guess science has had more of an impact on me than I realized. I am happy, however, to have learned about the quilt pattern "Storm at sea;" I want to make it someday!
