Ramon Navarro is a big wave surfer and grew up on the ocean, helping his father with his fishing business and learning to dive at an early age. A committed activist, he's worked on numerous projects to preserve his country's vibrant surf environment and lives in Pichilemu, Chile. Josh Berry is the environmental director of Save the Waves.
He also co-founded Chilean nonprofit Proplaya, an organization also focused on coastal preservation and beach stewardship and lives in Davenport, CA. Despite this, the novel works. The fisherman's life isn't for me; but Keoph's skillful rendering of its somber tediousness interspersed with wave-faring danger, of its grim determination to find the next big catch lured me in. In The Fisherman's Son Michael Koepf tells a story of man versus sea with an authenticity culled from his years spent working commercial fishing boats off of California's scenic and rugged coast around Half Moon Bay.

But this finely crafted novel does much more than that. Through well-nuanced characters and vivid scenes that stay with the reader long after the book is finished, we are immersed in a world where the lives of those who farm the ocean are as difficult and perilous as California's waters are beautiful and unmerciful.
Here are everyday men and women who continue to be drawn to an ancient livelihood where the rewards are few and transient; hard-won catches rot on docks in disputes with ruthless buyers and once-solid marriages break down despite the best of efforts. Ultimately the protagonist Neil Kruger is forced to make a decision as dangerous as it is inevitable and the reader feels the pull of the sea right along with him, one more time, and is taken to a place far from the safety of land. This book was a nerve-wracking rollick through the seas.

The writing evoked both fear and seasicksickness as the seas became rougher! It spoke deeply of the quiet hurt of fishermen's wives, the devotion fisherman have to each other, their boats and the ocean, and the ever-present dangers of the sea-faring life.

The author used an interesting technique whereby he had two stories going at once--the present going backward and the past going forward. It worked and neither narrative detracted from the other. There were some places in the narrative which needed to be reread in order to be more clearly understood.
In addition, there were a few technical words relating to fishing and boating which might have interfered with the reading pleasure of someone not as knowledgeable about maritime life. Nevertheless, this was a story well told and worth reading. See all 15 reviews.

FILM AND BOOK Tour Details
His story is a trailblazing effort for Chileans in all walks of life. We called him up to get his thoughts on the project. His voice contained no pre-premier jitters. Instead, it was almost eerily calm — kind of like the aesthetic of that cold, grey Chilean sea.
It loosely tells the story of my life, but a large part of it is based around my hometown in Chile. Is there a lot of surfing in the film? Or is it more lifestyle? Plus, a lot of the film is based on conservation.
