Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. 134 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter blue cloth with silver lettering to spine over blue boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Review copy with review literature laid in. On the Water is an intensely told tale of adolescent passion, narrated by Anton, a shy, uncomfortable outsider who harbours a yearning for a different kind of life that becomes symbolized in the river and in rowing. He joins the club, crossing the metaphorical and actual line which divides the town he lives in and forms an unlikely partnership with the calm, ironical David. Together they become a successful coxless pair, coached by an enigmatic German, Schneiderhahn. The story revels in descriptions of the physical exertion and emotional connection as it recreates pre-war Amsterdam. Telling the story in flashbacks, Anton now stands alone on a wintry evening facing a derelict and abandoned boathouse, recalling the long, hot summer of 1939 and mourning a lost world.
