The metaphysically disorienting tale of a captain who loses control of her thinking?and her crew?aboard a cargo ship in the Atlantic.
A female captain in a male-dominated field, the unnamed narrator of Ultramarine has secured her success through strict adherence to protocol; she now manages a crew of twenty men and helms her own vessel. Uncharacteristically, one day, she allows her crew to cut the engines and swim in the deep open water. Returning from this moment of leisure, the crew of mariners no longer totals twenty men: now, they are twenty-one.
Sparse and psychological, Ultramarine grips the reader in a tussle with reality, its rhythmic language mimicking the rocking of the boat. As instruments fail, weather reports contradict the senses, and the ship?s navigation mechanisms break down, Navarro ?lulls her readers into accepting the unacceptable? (Asymptote) through deft, lyrical prose and pared-down dialogue. In Eve Hill-Agnus''s poetic translation, Mariette Navarro emerges as an exciting, mature voice in French literature.
