About The Book

In the title story, a voyage on an Antarctic icebreaker becomes dangerous when the ship's captain develops a mysterious enmity towards a photographer on board. The companion piece, The Left Eye Cries First, takes place during the last days of the Soviet Union, where Long Island lawyer Sid Little has returned after fleeing Odessa in his childhood. Encountering more than memories, Sid gains a new awareness of his mortality.
