Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

There is a sailor named Reed.He left because staying had become a form of slow agreement with a life he did notchoose. He sailed an ocean that had no name on any map he owned. He crossed it ina boat with holes in it. He arrived on the other side.This book is not about the crossing.It is about what happened after. The return. The strange morning when the ocean isbehind you and you are standing on perfectly ordinary ground and the ground feelslike it belongs to someone else.Every young person who has ever tried to build something knows this feeling. Youhad the idea. You had the hunger. You moved. And then you arrived somewhere andrealised that arriving is its own kind of problem.Nobody prepared you for the return.This book is eight chapters. Each one is a moment from Reed's life after the ocean.Each one carries a business truth inside it the way fruit carries a seed. You have toeat the whole thing to find it.Read it slowly. The sentences are short on purpose. Silence is part of the writing.This is not Reed's story.It is yours.
