Winner of the 1989 National Book Award
A classic tale of a man, a boat, and a storm, Spartina is the lyrical and compassionate
story of Dick Pierce, a commercial fisherman along the shores of Rhode Island's
Narragansett Bay. A kind, sensitive, family man, he is also prone to irascible outbursts
against the people he must work for, now that he can no longer make his living from the
sea.
Pierce's one great passion, a fifty-foot fishing boat called Spartina , lies unfinished in
his back yard.Determined to get the funds he needs to buy her engine, he finds himself
taking a foolish, dangerous risk.But his real test comes when he must weather a storm at
sea in order to keep his dream alive.Moving and poetic, Spartina is a masterly story of
one man's ongoing struggle to find his place in the world.
