Produktinformationen zu „The Salt Marsh King (ePub)“
A modern reimagining of Shakespeare's King Lear by debut literary novelist Drew Krepp.Henry O'Reilly, the founder and head of a seafood empire nearing the end of his career, makes sudden preparations to divide his empire among his three sons and entrust to them not only the family business, but the future of their North Carolina town. The youngest of the three, Patrick, remains at odds with his family's decadence and avarice, and declines to become involved. As the two older men conspire to force Henry into early retirement and take over the company completely, the brothers' lust for power leads to turbulent and terrifying battles with Patrick unwillingly thrust into the very eye of the storm. As greed, cowardice, and petty spite threaten to destroy those around him, Patrick proves himself no match for the scheming of others. If he is to survive the maelstrom wrought by his bickering, dangerous kin, he must find his strength within. Caught between the spiraling pulls of business intrigue and the deadly force of a hurricane sweeping up the Carolinas, the events of The Salt Marsh King will alter the shape of a barrier island, the destiny of a powerful family, and the fate of the town that relies on their business.Fast on the heels of his 2013 award-winning short story The Brackish, Drew Krepp's debut novel The Salt Marsh King heralds the full arrival of a talented author whose voice is fresh, intelligent, and powerful.
Autoren-Porträt von Drew Krepp
Drew Krepp was born on the North Fork of Long Island and grew up in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He graduated from Cornell University with a B.A. in English with a concentration in 19th century American literature before studying graduate level creative writing at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. He has worked as a lawn and garden center helper, a kennel worker, a bartender, a dishwasher in a sorority house, a pizza delivery driver, a mailroom clerk at a law school, a customer account rep at a sign shop, an organ-transplant courier, a production assistant for a non-profit arts organization, a boat maintenance/repair tech, a carpenter/handyman, a reader for a literary journal, and a graduate teaching assistant. In 2014, his short story, The Brackish, was selected by AM Homes, winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction and a bestselling author, for inclusion in The Masters Review, an annual ten-story collection showcasing the best in graduate-level writing from students in MA, MFA, and PhD creative writing programs. Drew divides his time between Wilmington and Baltimore, where he lives with his wife Jenni, their two children, and the world's least aggressive cat in a venerable brick rowhouse that leaks more than the sailboat in which he once lived. The Salt Marsh King is his first published novel.
