Джек Кейди - The Jonah Watch

The American Writer

“Jack Cady, former Coast Guardsman, writes with authority about the sense of mystery and unreality, the mixed emotions and the abrasive relationships that exist among the crew of the cutter… The mood of the sea in intense.”

“Fascinating… vividly written… highly recommended.”

“A hard-edged narrative that conceals within its intricate voice the imminence of the supernatural…”

“ An exceptional writer.”

“A writer of great, unmistakable integrity and profound feeling.”

“[Jack Cady is] a lasting voice in modern American literature.”

The Jonah Watch is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination or are used in an absolutely fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual events, locales, or persons—living or dead—is entirely coincidental.
