Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"The surfing competence that Ziolkowski achieved was considerable, but this memoir is more than an account of a sport mastered, It's a sharp, self-conscious portrait of the artist as a young grommet."

"Like Daniel Duane's 1996 memoir, Caught Inside, On a Wave goes beyond the lore of the sport and brings to life its natural venue....Though Ziolowski's language is as brisk and frothy as Hawaiian surf, what makes this memoir so affecting is how he mines his emotional life as a child."

Reseña del editor:

In a lyrical, coming-of-age memoir, a poet describes the role that surfing has played in his life, explaining how he escaped a turbulent childhood of divorce, his mother's remarriage, and an explosive new stepfather through his struggle to master the waves, until a double tragedy once again uproots his life.
