Synopsis
In ALL FISHERMEN ARE LIARS, Linda meets up with her best friend and fellow fisherman Alden Leeman for lunch and a drink at the Drydock in Portland just before Christmas. The surly captain of her first fishing expedition, Alden has seen his share of mishaps and adventures while at sea. When Linda shares memories of navigating her ship through one of the worst storms she’s ever seen, Alden quickly follows up with his own tale of terror and survival while other fishermen sit on the periphery attentively listening before jumping in with stories of their own. The stories will focus on such things as the most eccentric crew member, the funniest episode, the biggest fish, and the wildest story. The characters will drift in and out with the rounds of drinks with tales of their own dramatic moments, increasing in pitch and decreasing in believeability as alcohol is consumed. ALL FISHERMEN ARE LIARS are brand new stories of adventure, but it’s also what readers have come to love and expect from Greenlaw —luminous descriptions and edge-of-the seat excitement.
