7 January 2005: Paradise Press is pleased to announce the publication of The Seaman's Mission by Paul Mann, author of the acclaimed novel The Queer Commando (also from Paradise Press). Mann's latest book is a collection of fictional stories around the seafarer's life, with the emphasis on variety and humour. From a Passengers' Entertainment Officer who doesn't like passengers to killer lion, from a bored ship's surgeon to a chance meeting in Cochin, The Seaman's Mission gives an overview of a world that today has all but disappeared. "Mann's time at sea didn't go to waste. The short stories crackle with bitchy, salty wit. "The Entertainments Officer" features a camp passengers' entertainments officer who can't stand passengers, and in "Breakfast Cabaret", the tedium of a sea voyage is overcome by the outrageous goading of the Captain by the ship's doctor. It's by turns funny, sexy, moving and unexpected." Gay Times "a riot of acerbic wit and authentic characterisation" oneinseven magazine "If you're looking for something completely different to read, Big Boy, this may be it. But you've been warned, Sailor." Nautical Magazine |
