Float details the horrific adventures of a man and woman who leave the coast on a thirty-five foot sailboat in order to save their decaying marriage. The man arrives one month later, alone, on the shore of an equatorial country in a life raft. Island officials and an incompetent American Consulate question the man as to what happened to his wife at sea. The man succeeds in convincing them, and himself, that what happened in the very heart of the doldrums was an accident. In the process he explores the torment of stillness, both at sea and on land. Several months later he goes to Death Valley to escape the memories of his wife and his own past. But even in this sparse setting he cannot escape the ghost of his wife, who continues to haunt him for the crimes he has committed. Originally published in Oct. 2011 by Aqueous Books.
