Didn't really know where to say it, so I'll just say it here.

One of the things I like about South Coast is the narrative misdirection that for the first time gets a real prominent role in the series. We have seen a few smaller instances where Ish's narrow line of vision is supposed to keep us guessing for a while, but nowhere is it really as fleshed out as in South Coast.

I think you did a good job with the narrative misdirection in South Coast, Nathan. When I read it the first time, I really felt the sense off betrayal that the fishers felt when confronted with the outrageous quotas and I got caught up in the speculation and conspiracy theories right along with Jimmy and Tony.

Just sayin' !

Thanks.

I cut my teeth on the misdirection here, I think.

The later works have a lot more. Smiley
