Items related to Story of My Disappearance
A novel set (like the author's "Calm at Sunset, Calm at Dawn") in the sea-soaked world of Nantucket fishermen - a world of savage beauty, violence and death. Apparently an ordinary seaman, the main character is in fact an East German haunted by his experiences among the Muhadjadin in Afghanistan.

From the Publisher:
"Rich in detail, chokingly tense and gorgeously romantic...hoists its author to the top of his class." --San Francisco Chronicle
About the Author:
"Watkins writes fiction as thoughtful as it is stirring. His clean, Hemingwayesque prose speaks with urgency and beauty." --Dan Cryer, Newsday
"From the first sentence, Paul Watkins' book grabs the reader and doesn't let go....As changeable as the sea: beautiful and romantic and brutal and ugly, but always fascinating." --Chicago Tribune
"A book that will only reinforce his reputation as one of the best young writers....Watkins is an exceptional storyteller." --Providence Sunday Journal
