Cray Tales by Annie de Monchaux

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Body text and binding are still very good.

Cray Tales provides both a historical perspective on the industry and an insight into the variety of people that are at the heart and soul of Western Australia's western rock lobster fishery

Cray Tales gives a largely unrecorded West Australian subculture the opportunity to be seen and heard. The fishermen and their families' tales are bawdy, tragic, and tender, and for anyone who likes history, surfing, drama, or a good belly laugh, there is something for everyone. It's about exclusive lobster fishers whose livelihoods are bound to the ecology of the sea and who take the dangerous, isolated and bizarre for granted.

Based partly on recorded interviews.
