In Robert Stone's Outerbridge Reach, Owen Browne
is lost at sea. It's both a metaphor and the reality of his predicament. Browne
is a Naval Academy grad and Vietnam vet who makes his living selling sailboats
to yuppies. Taking place in the 80's, Outerbridge Reach explores one man's
existential crisis through his relationships with colleagues, his family, and
ultimately, with his own mind as he undertakes a solo, round-the-world sailboat
race. Browne is no more prepared for sailing the ocean than he is for dealing
with what has become of his life.
