I was fetched by The O’Briens, so I jumped at the chance to take a journey with Fergus O’Briens from an earlier time. Behrens didn’t disappoint.
Isolation, and the conditions which create it, are on full display as Fergus makes his way across seas, oceans, and continents, doing the best he can in the moment, and frequently wondering how he ended up in this or that particular state, only to decide quite boldly that the only thing for it is to do something completely different.
I loved everything about this work, but I especially loved the writing. Behrens gets me.
