In Wood’s world, there is no right or wrong. There is just life. #seascraper #BenjaminWood #booksky

The shift in how the reader is offered to perceive a character makes you question everything you read and everything you think you know—far beyond the text. #seascraper #BenjaminWood #booksky

There is a slowness in the narrative that captures the nature of the protagonist. There is a calmness to this novel that offers rest to the reader. #seascraper #BenjaminWood #booksky

Shrimps and Sink Pits. Book Review for “Seascraper” by Benjamin Wood. Summary: "Thomas lives a slow, deliberate life with his mother in Longferry, working his grandpa’s trade as a shanker.

Seascraper may not have been shortlisted for the Booker Prize today, but I felt this novel deeply and I’m so proud of my friend for his discipline and brilliance in writing it #benjaminwood #bookerprize

Somewhat bemused that this book didn't make the Booker shortlist, so wanted to spread some additional love for this beautiful and quietly powerful read. ❤

Moody cover of Benjamin Wood’s newest novel, Seascraper.

My delightful friend Ben’s newest novel, Seascraper, is out now. I’m really excited about this one because it apparently takes place over a day and a bit, and that’s all my little raisin brain can handle these days! Congrats, buddy! She’s a beaut! #benjaminwood
