A Hole in the Ocean

Sandy McIntosh's A Hole In The Ocean bends time as though on a Mobius band, the fiction of the 'actual' running into, over and around the real of the 'imagined'. His sweet affecting memoir of the late 20th century Hamptons art and poetry scene wraps effortlessly into the latter pages in which McIntosh dreams the works of Hemingway, Goethe and a host of other writers. His 'hole' is a mid-ocean maelstrom, both gentle and turbulent, swirling present, past and future in its serio-comic depths."--Michael Heller
