A Floating Life will please fans of Kafka, Murakami, and the powerful realism of Gabriel Garca Mrquez. A nameless narrator awakens to the muddle of middle time, no longer certain who or what he is. He discovers himself at a celebration talking to a female he doesn't know who demonstrates to be his partner. Soon separated but nonetheless surviving in the same apartment, he is threatened by way of a litigious dachshund and saddled with a stubborn case of erectile dysfunction in a world that seems organised together by progressively more mercurial laws and elusive restrictions. His relationship deepens with an older Dutch model maker named Pecheur whose miniature watercraft are erratically offered for sale in a hard-to-find shop called The Floating World. Enlivened by Pecheur's desire to tame the damaging forces of character, the narrator commences to find his bearings. With quiet humor and intelligence, A Floating Life graphs its course among images that delight and disorient, like a job interview in a vapor room with a one-eyed, seven-foot-tall chef, a midnight intrusion of bears, and the narrator's breast feeding of the baby he has birthed.
