The Eel cover

Writer Jack Fingon realizes too late that his life of "intuition and attraction" has produced little to value, and nothing to remember. To settle a piece of unfinished business, Fingon devises a plan to fulfil the testamentary wish of French vagabond poet Blaise Cendrars -- to be buried in the Sargasso Sea where "life first burst from the depths of the ocean floor towards the sun".

"The Eel is an adventure story, a mystery, a tale of intrigue that like the fish itself twists and turns and changes colours. And it originates, quite literally, at the source of all Life." -- Jim Christy, poet vagabond, tramp philosopher, novelist & sculptor
"David MacKinnon in The Eel channels a seamless collaboration between Lawrence Durrell and Ernest Hemingway, with prose that will haunt, startle, and yes, entertain you." -- Joe Hartlaub, Senior Reviewer at New Yorks Book Reporter
