Tough Island, Maine Crash Barry

- Maatschappij en cultuur
In 1991, as a young man, writer Crash Barry moved to Matinicus, Maine‘s most remote inhabited island. Two years living in a fishshack and working as a sternman on a lobster boat didn‘t make Crash an expert on Matinicus, but it was a long enough immersion to study a unique society with a wannabe poet‘s brain, filtered through a thick lens of drugs, youth and hard work. Remember, be careful on Tough Island.
